The Prophesee-enabled AMD Kria KV260 Starter Kit provides a platform for evaluation and production of industrial-grade solutions for applications such as smart city, machine vision, security cameras and retail analytics. Prophesee will showcase the new starter kit at Automate 2024, Chicago, May 6-9.

In collaboration with AMD, the FPGA-based KV260 Vision AI starter kit is a development platform for the AMD Kria K26 system-on-module (SOM). It is designed for advanced vision application development without requiring complex hardware design knowledge or FPGA programming skills, Prophesee said. The production-ready AMD Kria SOMs for edge-AI applications provide an energy-efficient FPGA-based device for vision and robotics applications.

A plug-and-play active markers tracking application is included in this kit. It allows for >1,000-Hz 3D pose estimation, with complete background rejection at the pixel level. This application highlights unique features of the event-based Metavision technologies, Prophesee said, enabling a new range of ultra high-speed tracking use cases such as game controller tracking, construction site safety and heavy-load anti-sway systems.

The Prophesee Starter Kit provides an out-of-the-box development solution to get up and running with the Prophesee Metavision SDK and IMX636 HD event-based sensor, developed in collaboration with Sony, allowing easy porting of algorithms to the AMD commercial and industrial-grade SOMs powered by the custom-built Zynq UltraScale multiprocessing SoC.
