Registration
- Registration (The contest is open to both industry and academia.)
Target Platform
The 2023 contest will use the Kria KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit and the Jetson Nano Developer Kit.
GPU Platform
The base design framework is provided here: https://github.com/dac-sdc/gpu_starter_2023. This repository is a work in progress and should be available by late March
FPGA Platform
You should use the Ubuntu 22.04 PYNQ PYNQ image, available at http://www.pynq.io/board.html.
The base design framework, with additional setup instructions, is provided here: https://github.com/dac-sdc/fpga_starter_2023.
Training Dataset
Link to download training dataset: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ceQ5y_rCReSZ26HzzCf2muDNbovjyl5k/view?usp=share_link
The training dataset contains:
- 10000 training images in the JPEGImages directory:
- Some extra images with _1 suffix are included such as 00009_1.jpg, which are simply mirror images of the base image and can be ignored.
- The images have varied size, with the following distribution of sizes:
- 1920x1080: 4962 images
- 1280x720: 4552 images
- 1920x1088: 404 images
- 1920x1072: 82 images
- Labelled object types and locations in the label directory. For example, JPEGImages/00001.jpg will have an associated label/00001.json file describe object types and locations in the image.
- Object types:
| Type | Name | Example | Identifying Data |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Motor Vehicle |  |
Bounding Box |
| 2 | Non-motorized Vehicle |  |
