Power-Aware Perception

March 11th, 2010

Within the next few years, your smartphone will be able to catalog your belongings, your physical activities, your favorite places and favorite things at these places – even how to get those things. It could even teach you how to fix your car or how to clean your espresso machine. The perception algorithms that make this future possible already exist as prototypes in research labs, but they aren’t accurate enough and are so power-hungry they will rapidly drain your battery. At their annual open house today, Intel Labs Berkeley researchers demonstrated a new project that explores the design of extreme power management technology to enable mobile devices to support always-on mobile perception applications., i.e., image, facial, object, and gesture recognition. The research scope includes techniques and tools for power-usage analysis, automated benchmarking, application tuning, and an application developer toolkit. See more on this and other Intel Labs Berkeley Research projects.
