SIMD-accelerated computer vision on a $2 microcontroller
An accelerated FAST feature detector was implemented on the ESP32-S3 using 128-bit SIMD instructions, achieving roughly twice the performance of the reference implementation.
Key points
- •The FAST feature detector was accelerated by leveraging 128-bit SIMD instructions on the ESP32-S3.
- •This approach achieved approximately 2x the performance compared to the reference implementation.
- •The work demonstrates efficient computer vision processing in a low-cost hardware environment.
