SAN JOSE, CA, September 29, 2009 – MotionDSP Inc., a pioneer in advancing video
\nforensics and image enhancement technology, announced today its participation
\nin the GPU Technology Conference being held September 30-Octobr 2, 2009 at the
\nHotel Fairmont in San Jose, CA. Hosted by NVIDIA Corporation, inventor of the
\ngraphics processing unit (GPU), the\u00a0 event will focus on how developers, engineers,
\nand researchers are using the GPU to solve the world’s most important computing
\nchallenges in a fraction of the time required by CPUs.
\nDesigned to leverage the tremendous parallel processing power of the 150 million
\nCUDA-enabled NVIDIA GPUs that are in PCs all over the world, MotionDSP’s revolutionary
\nvideo enhancement software for Windows\u00ae users dramatically improves video from
\nsources ranging from mobile phones to surveillance cameras.\u00a0 Unique to MotionDSP’s
\nproducts is the ability to extract more detail from fewer frames of poor-quality
\nvideo than competing solutions – a few frames instead of hundreds.
\nMotionDSP’s patented, multi-frame video enhancement technology is available in
\nIkena\u00ae, a “CSI-style” video forensic application used by intelligence agencies,
\nthe military and law enforcement; and in vReveal\u00ae, a consumer Windows\u00ae application.
\n Amazingly easy to use, vReveal delivers a one-click fix for the issues that
\nplague consumer-generated video: shake, noise artifacts, pixelation, poor lighting,
\nand low resolution. Plus, vReveal offers built-in support for uploads to YouTube\u00ae
\nand Facebook\u00ae.<\/p>\n
MotionDSP’s activities during the conference include:
\nFuture Directions in GPU Computing Panel – Emerging Companies Summit — Thursday,
\nOctober 1, 12:00 P.M. – 1:00 P.M., Session 1425 in the Regency 2 Ballroom:\u00a0 Dr.
\nSean Varah, CEO of MotionDSP will join panelists Bill Dally, NVIDIA Chief Scientist;
\nSimon Hayhurst, Adobe Senior Director of Product Management; and Steve Perlman,
\nFounder and CEO- ONLIVE to provide attendees with insight into the future in
\nGPU computing.\u00a0 Rob Enderle, leading technology analyst, will moderate.
\n\u201cWe have developed very sophisticated video post-processing pipeline.\u201d said Varah.
\n\u201cReal-time super-resolution \u201cscaling-up\u201d and stabilization are only the beginning.
\nWhere we can go in the future with GPU processing is limited only by the imagination.\u201d
\nMulti-Frame Analysis: The Future of Video Processing: Friday, October 2, 11:30
\nA.M. – 12:00 P.M., session 1459 in the Atherton Room: Nicola Bozinovic, MotionDSP
\nVice President of Engineering.\u00a0\u00a0 Bozinovic will discuss the details of the design
\nand performance challenges of MotionDSP’s multi-frame video pipeline, one of
\nthe first commercial video processing solutions fully ported to GPU architecture.
\nAbstract:\u00a0 High-fidelity motion estimation plays a critical role in almost any
\nvideo processing technology. The open-loop nature of MotionDSP’s multi-frame
\nvideo reconstruction framework requires a departure from quantized block-based
\nmotion estimation concept, commonly used in video encoding, as super-resolution
\ntemporal filtering cannot rely on a prediction error to compensate for motion
\nestimation inaccuracies. The need to use floating-point accurate motion fields,
\ncoupled with a multi-frame nature of the algorithm, makes GPGPU a natural choice
\nwhen addressing this massive computational problem.<\/p>\n
MotionDSP Booth:\u00a0 Visitors to the booth will see first-hand how Ikena and vReveal
\nautomate the entire process of video enhancement and produce dramatic results
\nin a single step. While vReveal is a compelling solution for consumers who want
\nto organize, enhance the appearance of, and share videos captured from handheld
\ncamera devices, Ikena is ideal for law enforcement video forensic analysis and
\nimagery analysis in intelligence and military.<\/p>\n
NextComputing Booth:\u00a0 NextComputing has partnered with MotionDSP to show its
\nGPU-accelerated Ikena Live video enhancement software on the portable NextDimension
\nsystem which offers true workstation-class computing in a package the size of
\na briefcase.\u00a0 MotionDSP’s Ikena Live is a powerful, real-time version of its
\nIkena application designed for military tactical operations centers, unmanned
\naerial vehicle (UAV) ground stations, video surveillance installations, and municipal
\nCCTV transportation.<\/p>\n
