Model Zoos and Ready-to-Run Models on Vitis AI Introduction to Part 3 Okay, so you’ve got the basics down in parts 1 and 2. Now let’s talk about the model zoo, it’s basically a big collection of ready-to-go AI models that people have already trained and optimized. Instead of building everything from scratch, you grab […]
When you spend enough time around life-dependent systems, one thing becomes obvious: safety isn’t a feature. It’s the foundation. If a music app crashes, it’s annoying. If a medical device fails, someone can die. Same story in a car. At highway speed, you’re trusting software to help steer, brake, deploy airbags, and sometimes even make […]
Machine-vision systems often rely on standardized high-speed interfaces to transfer image data from cameras to processing hardware. Two widely used standards are Camera Link and Camera Link HS. While both are designed for deterministic, low-latency image transport, they differ significantly in architecture, bandwidth, connectors, and implementation platforms. Camera Link: Overview and Key Characteristics Camera Link […]
