Eyes of Things (EoT) is the name of a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement number 643924.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The purpose of the project, which is funded under the Smart Cyber-physical systems topic,[8] is to develop a generic hardware-software platform for embedded, efficient (i.e. battery-operated, wearable, mobile), computer vision, including deep learning inference.

On November 29, 2018, the European Space Agency announced that it was testing the suitability of the device for space applications in advance of a flight in a Cubesat.[9]

Motivation

EoT is based on the following tenets:[10]

  • Future embedded systems will have more intelligence and cognitive functionality. Vision is paramount to such intelligent capacity
  • Unlike other sensors, vision requires intensive processing. Power consumption must be optimized if vision is to be used in mobile and wearable applications
  • Cloud processing of edge-captured images is not sustainable. The sheer amount of visual data generated cannot be transferred to the cloud. Bandwidth is not sufficient and cloud servers cannot cope with it.
