Madrid - FITOPTIVIS - From the cloud to the edge - smart IntegraTion and OPtimization Technologies for highly efficient Image and VIdeo processing Systems is an ECSEL project running for 36 months and starting in June 2018.  Images play a central role in human perception and understanding of our environment. In the same way, Cyber-Physical Systems need visual context and awareness to make autonomous and correct decisions, and eventually take appropriate actions. However, advanced image and video processing is compute intensive and challenging.

The objective of FitOptiVis is to develop an integral approach for smart integration of image and video-processing pipelines for CPS (Cyber-Physical Systems) covering a reference architecture, supported by low-power, high-performance, smart devices, and by methods and tools for combined design-time and run-time multi-objective optimisation within system and environment constraints. FitOptiVis will provide a reference architecture supporting composability built on suitable component abstractions and embedded sensing, actuation and processing devices adhering to those abstractions. The reference architecture will support design portability, on-line multi-objective quality and resource management and run-time adaptation guaranteeing system constraints and requirements based on platform virtualization.

Within FitOptiVis are 31 organisations coming from five countries: Netherlands, Czechia, Finland, Spain and Italy. It can be found Large Enterprises, Small and Medium enterprises, Research Institutes and Universities. All of the FitOptiVis partners are highly active at both European and international levels and exhibit a core set of expertise in contributing towards medium- to large-scale European and national projects, while successfully managing and executing them and exploiting their results.

FitOptiVis project is co-financed by ECSEL Joint Undertaking and Spanish Ministry of Economy and Business, within the ECSEL Call for Proposals 2017, under Grant Agreement number 783162.
