Is Stereo & Optical Flow Engine a hardware ?
From my perspective of view, I consider it derived from PVA(Programmable Vision Accelerator).
Am I right ?
Any details about Stereo & Optical Flow Engine?

Hi sin2lee, there is not direct access to this - technically the Optical Flow engine is part of the codec for motion estimation. API access will be provided to the Vision Accelerator in a future release of JetPack.

Hi,Dustin,pleased to receive your answer.But I still not sure Stereo & Optical Flow Engine is a special hardware like DLA or an implementation of CUDA CORE or PVA?

It is part of the codec hardware that has not been exposed for general use.

5

VisionWorks support those features its actually an API.

He does not use the CODEC dedicated engine for it? only use the GPU?

If yes can i say that the SOFE feature is not available in this Jetpack version?

Just wanted to bump this in case status has changed. Is the flow in the optical flow engine a dense flow? And if so is there an API function to get access to it?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi~,I have three question. May I think of it as an ASIC IC which users can’t reprogramming ? When Can User use this function from JetPack API? Is their any Specific documentation for this engine, like FrameRate, max support image resolution ?

Hi,
If or when released for general use, will it be available as part of nvidia optical flow sdk?

Thanks
