This technology offer is an always-on artificial intelligence (AI) visual sensor that consumes less than 1 mW of power, and is suitable for use in next-generation, battery-operated smart camera systems. The design combines an ultralow-power image sensor with a custom computer vision application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). It runs optimised machine-learning (ML) algorithms on the edge, without the need to stream images to the cloud. This allows for quicker response times and privacy protection.
IoT System-on-Chip (SOC):
CMOS Sensors:
The system’s ultralow-power design, unique image processing pipeline and hardware accelerators allows battery-operated, AI image processing at the edge. As such, a wide range of design possibilities and applications are enabled.
