IMX500
Transform your business with IMX500 Intelligent Vision Sensor.
Develop vision based AI applications using a high speed edge processing one-chip solution.
The world's first Intelligent Vision Sensor with edge processing
Enabling high-speed edge AI processing without needing a round trip to a server, IMX500 is the world's first Intelligent Vision Sensor with edge processing functionality.
IMX500 Key Benefits
One-chip solution
IMX500 has a stacked sensor structure combining an image sensor with a powerful DSP and dedicated on-chip SRAM to enable high-speed edge AI processing without needing a round trip to a server.
Optimized processing
IMX500 eliminates the need for high-performance processors or external memory, so your devices will be more reliable and cheaper to produce.
Low power & cost friendly
IMX500 eliminates the need for high-performance processors or external memory, so your devices will need less bandwidth and less power.
IMX500 uses industry-standard M12 (S-mount) lenses.
Deploy a new AI model and reuse the same hardware for different tasks.
Low latency
Deploy, evaluate, and iterate any type of neural network. AI inference at the edge means image data does not need to be uploaded for processing, in turn meaning your solutions will benefit from lower latency and need less bandwidth and less power than traditional vision system solutions.
Address Privacy Concerns
Protect your customer's personal privacy, and manage compliance with privacy regulations, by outputting the processed image metadata only. The image data never leaves the chip, if you don't want it to.
Intelligent Vision Sensor Solutions
Deploy any type of deep learning model to empower AI-enabled video analytics.
Image classification
Classify an object in an image
Object detection
Localize and classify one or multiple objects in an image
Pose detection
