Altera, Eutecus unleash FPGA-based video analytics platform

Altera Corp. and Eutecus have brought to market the ReCo-Pro Multi-Channel High-Definition (HD) video analytics platform. According to the companies, the solution is based on Eutecus' MVE video and fusion analytics technology, and Altera's Cyclone V SoC and Enpirion PowerSoC devices.

Available from Eutecus, the ReCo platform has been chosen by Sensity Systems as the foundation for adding intelligent vision processing to its high-speed, Light Sensory Network (LSN), which is being installed in several U.S. metropolitan areas. The Sensity open, multiservice NetSense platform enables industrial lighting owners and operators to reduce energy costs while offering advanced networked services for smart city applications, such as environmental and weather monitoring, parking management, retail analytics and enhanced public safety.

The integration of Eutecus' intelligent video and sensor analytics implemented on Altera FPGAs within the NetSense platform extends the capabilities of the applications, enabling greater operational awareness, effectiveness and security, noted the companies.

The ReCo product family with video and fusion analytics solutions from Eutecus is available for customers to enable dual- and quad-channel HD video processing systems. The embedded MVE IP cores are available on both the Altera Cyclone IV FPGA-powered ReCo-Duo and the Altera Cyclone V SoC-powered ReCo-Pro platforms supported by Altera's Enpirion power solutions.
