Prophesee today announced the release of key open-source software modules (OpenEB) and a set of new Event-Based Machine Learning solutions that are aimed at optimizing ML training and inference for event-based applications, including optical flow and object detection. In addition, the company is offering the industry’s largest HD Event-Based dataset to developers as a free download.

This latest release of the company’s Metavision Intelligence Suite includes also adds an expanded set of development tools and software for designing industrial vision systems that leverage the performance and efficiency of Event-Based Vision. The suite now includes close to 100 algorithms, 67 code samples and 11 use-case specific application modules that accelerate the development process.

The open-source modules of OpenEB are available through Github and allow designers to build custom plugins and ensure compatibility with the Metavision Intelligence Suite for developing event-based systems. It provides a platform for developers to share software components across the machine vision ecosystem.

“We want to set an open technology standard in the machine vision ecosystem that enables new levels of accessibility and interoperability. As the leader and technology pioneer in event-based vision systems, our role is to help proliferate its use and make critical development aids, data and tools more readily available to product developers. Our approach provides the growing ecosystem around event-based technology with a rich open foundation and a strong development framework. This includes extensive and reliable data that we have collected over several years, as well as application modules that leverage our expertise in a variety of specific uses to accelerate the development of customer-specific systems,” said Luca Verre, CEO and co-founder of Prophesee.
