The world's first Intelligent Vision Sensor with edge processing

IMX500 chip balanced on a fingertip

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

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

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

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

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.
