CogniVue's "Opus" APEX Generation 3: Vision Processing With Implementation Flexibility
Practical computer vision (i.e. "embedded vision") is rapidly becoming a mainstream reality. Numerous processor chip and core suppliers have responded to increasing market demand with a variety of processor options. One of the first companies to target the vision processor space, Quebec, Canada-based CogniVue, has just unveiled its third-generation core architecture.
CogniVue's path to the vision market involved several intermediate steps. The company was initially founded fifteen years ago by several university professors as a supplier of computational memory devices (a lineage still evident in the abundance of localized memory resources on today's APEX vision processor cores). In the mid-2000s, CogniVue transitioned to becoming a general-purpose multimedia coprocessor developer; the company's focus narrowed to vision processing around 2010. And whereas CogniVue initially strove to be a fabless semiconductor supplier, the company has been wholly focused on the processor core licensing business for the past three years.
