This technical article was originally published at Altera's website. It is reprinted here with the permission of Altera. Deep learning neural network systems currently provide the best solution to many large computing problems for image recognition and natural language processing. Neural networks are inspired by biological systems, in particular the human brain; they use conventional
Computer vision applications, unlike traditional image processing, employ a heterogeneous mix of algorithms with a great diversity of control flows and memory access patterns. Therefore, vision processors are naturally evolving towards complex architectures that include, besides the CPU and GPU-like arrays of processing units, dedicated hardware blocks that specialize on certain portions of computer vision

The world market for body-worn video surveillance within law enforcement is growing. In 2014 IHS estimated the total world market for body-worn video surveillance equipment and service in law enforcement was worth $60 million. However, interestingly the service portion of the market will grow to become a larger proportion than the hardware market by 2019,
