Overview

The DAC 2022 System Design Contest focused on low-power object detection on an embedded FPGA system. Contestants received a training dataset provided by DJI, and a hidden dataset used to evaluate the performance of the designs in terms of accuracy and power. Contestants competed to create the best performing design on a Ultra 96 v2 FPGA board. Grand cash awards were given to the top three teams. The award ceremony was held at the 2022 IEEE/ACM Design Automation Conference.
