Artificial Intelligence Accelerates Your Multi-Camera Solution

Recent advances in embedded vision have evolved from passive video capturing devices to fully autonomous vision systems. Self-driving cars, drones, or autonomous guided robots require real-time parallel processing, low-latency, and in some cases low current consumption. Multiple camera modules provide surround view and sensor fusion improves the overall vision system, while artificial intelligence and machine learning herald tremendous improvements for recognition and learning tasks in autonomous vision systems.

Building autonomous vision systems grows increasingly challenging, requiring multi-disciplinary expertise in optics, image sensors, computer vision and deep learning. Selecting the right development platform and design methodology is crucial for a successful implementation. Avnet Silica offers embedded vision solutions bundled with tools and reference designs to minimize development time in creating autonomous vision systems.
