Xilinx Participation at the October 2 Embedded Vision Summit:

• Presentation
  "Vision-Based Automotive Driver Assistance Systems: Challenges and Approaches"
  Xilinx senior system architect, automotive solutions, Paul Zoratti, will provide a detailed technical overview of a multi-camera, multi-feature driver assistance system processor based on the Zynq 7000 All Programmable SoC architecture.
• Video Demonstration
  Xylon LogiADAK Zynq Based Advanced Driver Assistance Kit
  The LogiADAK Advanced Driver Assistance Kit is based on the Zynq All Programmable SoC and includes all system components including hardware, software, evaluation IP, and a multi-camera ADAS reference design required to implement a 360-degree surround view/rear view reference system. The system is also capable of advanced video analytics including pedestrian detection, blind spot detection, and lane departure warning. The system is provided by Embedded Vision Systems and Xilinx Premier Alliance Program Members, Xylon and Digital Design Corporation.
• Technical Demonstration
  OmniTekRTVE2.1 Zynq-based Real-Time Video Engine
  The Real-Time Video Engine, an All Programmable video system reference design, demonstrates a scalable video processor from OmniTek, a Xilinx Certified Alliance Program Member. The Real-Time Video Engine was designed to address Smarter Vision applications that require high quality multichannel video processing. This reference design demonstrates up to eight simultaneous 1080p60 video streams running in a single Zynq All Programmable SoC.
