GSI Technology Wins First Place in MoSAIC Challenge Human/Object Tagging Category
April 14 2022 - 8:30AM
GSI Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: GSIT), developer of
the Gemini® Associative Processing Unit (APU) for AI and
high-performance parallel computing (HPPC) and a leading provider
of high-performance memory solutions for the networking,
telecommunications, and military markets, today announced that its
submission to the Mobile Standoff Autonomous Indoor Capabilities
(MoSAIC) Challenge won first place in the Human/Object Tagging
category.
“I am immensely proud of the GSI team, led by Avidan Akerib, and
the impressive capabilities of the software they developed for the
MoSAIC Challenge,” said Lee-Lean Shu, GSI Technology’s Chairman and
CEO. “Taking first place in the prestigious MoSAIC Challenge
correlates to GSI’s first place win in the MAFAT Radar Challenge in
2021, which used similar software that distinguished humans from
animals in radar signal segments.
“Taking first place in the MAFAT and MoSAIC Challenges raises
GSI’s profile with leading Israeli defense organizations,”
continued Mr. Shu. “The MoSAIC award now spotlights our
capabilities to the U.S Department of Defense (DOD) and the
Irregular Warfare Technical Support Directorate (IWTSD). The IWTSD
identifies and develops technical innovations for the DOD and
interagency customers. This award gives us a valuable introduction
to showcase the full scope of the APU solution to these new U.S.
defense agencies.”
The requirements of the Human/Object Tagging category were to
demonstrate software and algorithms that could automatically
detect, classify, and track humans while differentiating between
males and females and identify objects of interest such as weapons
(e.g., rifle, pistol, knife, etc.), at various distances and under
different lighting and visibility conditions, in real-time HD video
acquired from the camera of a moving drone. The solution for this
challenge included training a State-Of-The-Art (SOTA) object
detection deep model on a novel dataset, uniquely acquired and
constructed by GSI, using public datasets and original GSI
datasets, and performing manual-labeling, as well as automatic and
semi-automatic labeling schemes. The solution also included video
object tracking algorithms adapted to this challenge and time-based
decision smoothing algorithms used to improve the detection and
classification of objects over time.
The MoSAIC Challenge was designed to identify best-in-class,
cutting-edge hardware and software solutions to address challenging
and longstanding technological gaps concerning remote autonomous
indoor maneuvers. This field will require a toolbox of scalable,
layered, modular, and multi-functional capabilities to enable
operators to perform the full range of indoor missions remotely and
autonomously. The MoSAIC Challenge was led by the U.S. Department
of Defense (DoD), Irregular Warfare Technical Support Directorate
(IWTSD), and the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD), Directorate of
Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&D), along with the Merage
Institute.
ABOUT GSI TECHNOLOGY
Founded in 1995, GSI Technology, Inc. is a leading provider of
semiconductor memory solutions. The Company recently launched
radiation-hardened memory products for extreme environments in
space and the Gemini® Associative Processing Unit (APU), a
memory-centric design that delivers significant performance
advantages for diverse AI applications. The Gemini APU architecture
removes the I/O bottleneck between the processors and memory arrays
by performing massive parallel search directly in the memory array
where data is stored. The novel architecture delivers
performance-over-power ratio improvements compared to CPU, GPU, and
DRAM for applications like image detection, speech recognition,
e-commerce recommendation systems, and more. Gemini is an ideal
solution for edge applications with a scalable format, small
footprint, and low power consumption where rapid, accurate
responses are critical. For more information, please visit
