Oct 19, 2017: JeVois and Prof. Itti selected by ARM as one of 10 worldwide for new ARM
Innovators program. ARM Innovators are key technical experts helping to extend ARM architecture and
to share their knowledge into a wide variety of exciting areas. See the announcement
on hackster.io
Oct 18, 2017: JeVois 1.5.2 released with Saliency+Darknet, YOLO resizing.
- Saliency + Darknet: Detect the most interesting (salient) object in the scene, then recognize it
using a deep neural network. Saliency detection runs at 15 frames/s at 320x240 or 10 frames/s at
640x480 (limited to not consume too much CPU, saliency can actually run alone at 60+ frames/s at
320x240), and neural network recognition (1000 possible object categories) runs at about
200ms/object (about 5 objects/s).
See DarknetSaliency Module.
- Darknet and YOLO runtime resizing: the neural networks used in
modules DarknetSaliency,
DarknetSingle
and DarknetYOLO can now be resized
at runtime. This allows you to trade off between speed and accuracy. Smaller network sizes run
faster but are less accurate and have more difficulty identfiying small objects.
Sept 29, 2017: JeVois 1.5 released with OpenCV 3.3, g++ 7.2 and more.
- JeVois is now based on buildroot 2017.08 and includes OpenCV 3.3.0, python 3.6, boost 1.64, eigen
3.3.3, latest tiny-dnn and darknet-nnpack deep neural networks, and many other latest package
versions.
- This update changes the JeVois operating system. Developers need to update to the new debian
package jevois-sdk-dev-1.5.0 (and its dependencies) released for Ubuntu 17.04 and 16.04
at jevois.usc.edu. Also see
Setting up for programming
JeVois.
- And more, see more details.
Sept 7, 2017: JeVois 1.4 released with new deep neural networks. Object recognition on
ImageNet (1000 object categories) and Pascal VOC using Darknet and Darknet YOLO. Not fully optimized
for speed yet but already looking very promising.
See two new modules in jevoisbase:
- DarknetSingle: passes a central
224x224 crop to a Darknet neural network. The neural network precicts the top N object category
candidates (among 1000 possible from imagenet), and those above a minimum confidence threshold are
shown and sent to serial.
- DarknetYOLO: passes a whole
640x480 frame to a Darknet YOLO (you only look once) network that combines detection (finding
where objects might be) and identification (what objects are) for all objects in the scene in
one pass.
- And more, see more details.
July 13, 2017: Setup Facebook and Twitter. See the icons at the top of this page. We
will from now on post links to new tutorials, new documentation pages, and new software versions on
these channels.
July 12, 2017: JeVois 1.3 released.
- Standardized serial messages for greater inter-operability between JeVois and Arduino.
- New host command jevois-add-videomapping to add a new mapping to videomappings.cfg,
checking for duplicates.
- New host command jevois-cmd to send a command to JeVois and get the result without having
to open a serial terminal and connect it to JeVois.
- New host command jevois-usbsd to instruct a connected JeVois camera to start/stop
exporting its microSD as a virtual flash drive without having to open a serial terminal app.
- New docs, including on using in low light.
- New tutorials for C++ and Python
- And more, see more details.

- Access the microSD card inside JeVois live over USB as a virtual USB flash drive. Directly
edit config files, add training data, retrieve data recorded by JeVois, or install/update machine
vision modules without having to physically take out the card.
- Program machine vision modules in Python 3.5 with full Python-OpenCV 3.2.0 support. Combined
with the live access to microSD over USB, edit a computer vision module written in Python directly
on the JeVois camera without having to remove the card.
- New suite of Ubuntu 17.04 deb packages for developers, should (hopefully!) eliminate headaches
with trying to install the jevois-sdk.
- Access a Linux login shell on JeVois, either over the hardware 4-pin serial port, or using
serial-over-USB, while machine vision software is running.
