Moore’s Law continues to be responsible for extraordinary advances in computational power and equally-important declines in price. Apple’s new iPhone uses lidar that used to cost $75,000.
Separately, researchers at Nvidia now have Maxine, a software development kit for developers of video conferencing services that uses artificial intelligence and a neural network to reduce video bandwidth usage to one tenth of H.264. Nvidia expects Maxine also will dramatically reduce costs.
Maxine includes application programming interfaces for the face alignment, gaze correction, face re-lighting and real time translation in addition to capabilities such as super-resolution, noise removal, closed captioning and virtual assistants, Nvidia says.
These capabilities are fully accelerated on NVIDIA GPUs to run in real time video streaming applications in the cloud.
Maxine-based applications let service providers offer the same features to every user on any device, including computers, tablets, and phones, Nvidia says.
