As the Empa R&D team, we presented our technology- and innovation-driven demos to visitors at IDEF 2025. Among our standout projects showcased at the exhibition were the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) demo implemented on the AMD Kria KV260 development kit, and the AMD Advanced Surveillance Platform.
Real-Time Visual Processing on AMD Kria KV260
The ADAS demo, developed using the open-source MultiTaskV3 model, is capable of performing object detection, segmentation, lane detection, drivable area segmentation, and depth estimation using only visual input.
Running on a ResNet18 backbone, the model is accelerated by the Deep Learning Processing Unit (DPU) on the Multi-Processor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) within the Kria KV260 System-on-Module (SoM), delivering 25–30 frames per second performance.
The demo was presented to visitors at the AMD booth, using a setup consisting of the Kria KV260, a monitor, a USB camera, and a laptop playing the source video stream.
AMD Advanced Surveillance Platform
Introduced under the title “The Future of Security: Intelligent Surveillance Systems with AMD Kria,” this platform delivers an innovative surveillance solution developed through the integrated operation of three different AMD Kria boards.
Combining real-time image processing, AI-powered object tracking, and precise motor control, the platform is designed for security and industrial monitoring applications.
During the demo, visitors were introduced to the platform’s distributed system architecture, RTSP video streaming, and modular detection system, which enables rapid switching between different object types.
The advanced technology solutions we presented at IDEF 2025 demonstrated Empa R&D’s continued leadership in digital transformation and AI-driven applications.
