Seeing Is Believing: AI-Powered Camera Sensors

Visual data has grown volumetrically – artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming overwhelming amounts of video into timely and actionable intelligence at a rate like never before. AI-powered cameras at the edge enable smartphone, automotive, computing, industrial, and IoT devices to redefine the way they process, restore, enhance, analyze, search, and share video and images. On-device integrated AI-camera sensor co-processor chips with their built-in high-­processing power and memory ­allow the machine- and human-­vision applications to operate much faster, more energy-efficiently, cost-effectively, and securely without sending any data to remote servers.
