The Challenge: Overcoming Processing and Data Transfer Bottlenecks

As camera networks grow in complexity, the need for scalable, real-time image processing becomes paramount. However, many systems face challenges such as:

• CPU Overload: Legacy architectures depend on CPUs for processing, leading to performance bottlenecks.
• Inefficient Data Transfers: Conventional data pipelines require multiple memory copies, increasing latency.
• Limited Scalability: Synchronizing large-scale multi-camera deployments is resource-intensive and difficult to manage.

The Solution: FlexProc & FlexTrans

Emergent Vision Technologies introduces FlexProc and FlexTrans, two powerful tools within eCapture Pro, designed to revolutionize image processing and data flow.

FlexProc: Distributed, User-Defined Image Processing

FlexProc empowers users to assign and distribute image processing tasks dynamically across their network, enabling flexible, real-time vision applications.

? Graphical Drag-and-Drop Interface: Users can visually map out processing tasks using CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and Cloud resources.

? Plug-and-Play Processing: Utilize pre-built plug-ins or custom scripts to tailor workflows based on specific imaging requirements.

? Massively Scalable: Enables large-scale deployments, such as 64 GigE Vision cameras operating on a single server/GPU system.

? Optimized AI & Machine Learning: Integrate real-time deep learning models to improve accuracy and automation.

FlexTrans: Any Node-to-Node Data Transfers with Zero Latency

FlexTrans eliminates the inefficiencies of traditional data transfer methods, providing a seamless, high-performance pipeline for image data movement across networks.

? Direct-to-GPU Data Transfer: Bypasses unnecessary CPU processing by leveraging GPUDirect and zero-copy technology.

? Node-to-Node Flexibility: Move image data between GPUs within a server, across multiple servers, or even to the Cloud.

? Minimal Network Overhead: Unlike alternative transfer methods that triple network resource usage, FlexTrans optimizes bandwidth for the lowest latency.

? Intuitive Graph-Based Interface: No coding required—users simply connect processing blocks in eCapture Pro’s graph view to direct data flow.
