Neuro-DSP - Combining a 'Neural' Processor with a Standard Processor

The Neuro-DSP project has been accredited by two competitive clusters, Arve Industries and Vitagora, and awarded the bid for the fifteenth FUI (government agency funding industrial R&D projects) call for collaborative projects. The purpose of Neuro-DSP is to combine the features and capabilities of a so-called 'neural' processor with those of a standard processor and then integrate the hybrid into applications for different industries, including food-processing and agribusiness. Global Sensing Technologies (GST), a young Dijon based company founded by an industry operator and an academic, whose products are based on a neural technology design, is one of the industrial partners. Compared to standard processors, i.e. the well-known chips enclosed in most of the ubiquitous digital tools in our daily environment, the special feature of so-called 'neural' processors is a different architecture with associative memories called 'neurons' that 'imitate' the reasoning of the human brain, except that our brains have about 1,000 billion neurons while today's top neural processor, the CM1K engineered by CogniMem (USA), only has 1,024 neurons. However, this does not matter since, because of its parallel neural architecture, this type of processor can recognize a pattern or a signal simply and in real time, a feature that can be very useful in certain fields such biometrics, access control, medicine or food-processing.

On September 15, 2011, Xavier Bruneau and Michel Paindavoine created Global Sensing Technologies, a company developing products based on neural processors. Xavier Bruneau is a graduate engineer of Ecole Centrale Paris, who has spent his entire career in industry, i.e. first at Bertin and later in the military aeronautics field at Alkan where he was General Manager. Currently, he is GST CEO. Michel Paindavoine is an academic, a professor at the University of Burgundy and specialist in signal and image processing and is GST Technical Manager. Although they had known each other for years, it was not until 2009 that they sat down and thought about creating a business dedicated to industrial applications for neural processors. "Our goal is to exploit the capabilities of the processor, given that the neurons can be installed on a programmable circuit called FGPA (Field-Programmable Gate Array)," Xavier Bruneau explained. GST received support from OSEO and Prémice (an incubator) and from Bourgogne Croissance Innovation (a regional seed fund) that took shares in the business during the summer of 2012. With its 7 associates (of which 6 wage-earners), GST gas been able to develop and design its first products that have been marketed for the past several months. Products include NeuroPIC, a camera for fast and efficient pattern recognition. As its parameters can be set according to the user's activity, NeurPic is for applications such as defect detection or facial recognition. The NeuroFGPA card, another product in the GST catalogue, is for a wide range of applications. As its parameters can also be set, the card, which is appropriate for pattern recognition, selective sorting or target monitoring, is a new way of approaching signal recognition and the classification of embedded systems. GST Neuro Platform is essential software for any application requiring signal analysis and environment interaction. The young company also offer services to potential customers and conducts basic research for the development of new products in the medium to long term. "Neuro-DSP is somewhat like the icing on the cake for a young business such as GST. Just think,we're working with a wealth of partners, including CEA LIST and the SEB group, on an accredited Vitagora project that was selected by the FUI, " exclaimed Xavier Bruneau. However, he remember clearly that they did not join the cluster at the outset because he thought that, "its activities did not fall within the scope of our core skills." He has since realized that GST engineered solutions could be of interest to agribusiness and the food-processing industry as well as to agriculture and winemaking. Recognizing an object on the fly or comparing manufactured products with the ideal shape of the product are among the many possibilities that GST could soon be offering to different industries that are always seeking more effective and efficient solutions.
