As a leading provider of low-power computer vision and embedded artificial intelligence, Intel Movidius provides visual intelligence for the first mini drone Spark recently released by Shenzhen Dajiang Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Dajiang”). technology. The Intel Movidius Myriad 2 Vision Processing Unit (VPU) is a unique processor designed to accelerate machine vision task processing such as object detection, 3D graphics, and context-aware based on deep learning algorithms.

Dajiang's Spark mini drone uses Intel Movidius Myriad 2 vision processing unit

Spark, released on May 24, is the smallest drone in the Dajiang product line. By using the Myriad 2 VPU for single-board computer vision processing and high-speed deep learning calculations, the Spark drone can perform a range of functions including sensing and obstacle avoidance, optical tracking and gesture recognition. Using the sophisticated vision and deep learning algorithms that Myriad 2 can do, DJI offers the following features for its drones:

Ÿ Face Detection: Put Spark on the palm of your hand, it recognizes the user's face and can detect when it takes off, leaving no delay in the takeoff process.

手势 Gesture mode: Sparking can evoke Spark's attention, control its flight path by gestures, and then use a finger to draw a box to let it know that you are ready to take a photo.

Ÿ Safe Landing: The bottom visual sensor detects and identifies objects on the underside for a safe landing.

These new features are combined with DJI's own obstacle avoidance algorithm, and Spark has become one of the most intelligent drones on the market.

Remi El-Ouazzane, vice president of Intel's new technology division and general manager of the Movidius business unit, said: "In order to help Spark drones maintain their miniaturization advantages, DJI has developed an innovative solution based on Intel's Movidius chip, which has greatly reduced The size and weight of this drone. Our advanced Myriad 2 VPU combines traditional geometric vision algorithms with deep learning algorithms, meaning that Spark not only perceives space but also senses the environment."

Movidius is a subsidiary of Intel and has been working with DJI since 2015 to provide advanced visual processing for its drones. Thanks to its ultra-low power architecture, Myriad 2 saves space and energy. Therefore, the Spark drone not only contains all the intelligent functions of other DJI drones, but also achieves volume optimization, which is very suitable for amateur players and entry-level users.

Paul Pan, Senior Product Manager of DJI, said: “As the smallest drone we have ever had, Spark has amazing new computer vision and deep learning features, as well as intelligent flight and security features that are well known and loved by users in DJI. Myriad 2 The VPU manages our autonomous flight and environment-aware systems with powerful computing power, helping us create this extremely small and highly intelligent flight machine."

The Spark drone is expected to begin shipping in mid-June and can now be booked through the Dajiang official website, the four flagship stores and authorized dealers for $499.
