HexVIO system offloads visual tracking to smartphone DSPs for improved efficiency

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed HexVIO, a novel stereo-inertial odometry system that offloads visual processing to a commodity Digital Signal Processor (DSP) found in many smartphones and XR devices. This approach significantly reduces power consumption and latency compared to traditional CPU-only systems. HexVIO demonstrated a 67% reduction in power consumption or an 86% increase in throughput on a smartphone, enabling sustained real-time tracking for extended periods. AI

IMPACT Enables more efficient and longer-lasting spatial computing applications on mobile and wearable devices.
