Sony utilizes in-build Artificial Intelligence processing in its upcoming image sensors IMX 500 & IMX501 to enable image and object recognition on the camera.
The company is making sensors for enterprise-class monitors and security cameras in industrial and retail equipment systems. Companies are increasingly using the Internet of Things (IoT) enabled cameras to gain new insights to improve operational efficiency.
IoT cameras capture video footage and depend on cloud-based solutions for AI-based processing or insights.
But the cloud-connected model has its limitations. It is expensive and possesses data transmission latency, which can affect the real-time processing of information.
The AI-based sensors save extracted information as metadata instead of an actual image. Therefore, the volume of data generated is low, and it also diminishes privacy and security related concerns.
The AI-based sensors use high-speed AI to enable real-time tracking and counting of objects while recording videos simultaneously. It can help count the number of visitors in a store, detect stock shortage, and identify areas with more footfalls.
Sony claims companies can write the AI models to the embedded memory on the camera and update it whenever required.
The cameras can capture 4K videos at 60fps and Full HD at 240fps.
