LUCID Vision Labs smart camera with Sony IMX500 and Aitrios software

LUCID Vision Labs introduces the SENSAiZ SZP123S-001 smart camera, which is designed to work with the Sony IMX500 intelligent vision sensor and Sony’s innovative AITRIOS software platform. The smart camera is a compact and lightweight device that combines high performance with ease of integration. It features a built-in camera lens and an Ethernet PoE connection, making it easy to integrate into various applications, such as security systems, manufacturing processes, and robotic automation.

The Sony IMX500 intelligent vision sensor powers the SENSAiZ SZP123S-001. This sensor combines an image sensor with a powerful DSP and dedicated on-chip SRAM. This unique configuration enables high-speed edge AI processing. By eliminating the requirement for high-performance processors or external memory, the IMX500 makes devices more reliable and cost-effective to produce.

The IMX500 sensor has the ability to perform AI inference at the edge. This means that image data can be processed locally without the need for uploading to a cloud server. As a result, solutions powered by the IMX500 sensor experience lower latency and require less bandwidth and power compared to traditional vision systems. This efficiency opens up new possibilities across a wide range of visual applications.

The smart camera supports the Sony Aitrios software platform, which aims to bring image processing and AI analysis directly to the camera, eliminating the need for external processing or memory. Using Aitrios, users can easily deploy, evaluate, and iterate any neural network, enabling them to unlock the full potential of their intelligent vision systems. Sony’s AITRIOS software platform complements the capabilities of the smart camera solution by providing a comprehensive software solution for device management, AI development, and system integration

Sony Semiconductor Solutions recently made a strategic investment in Raspberry Limited to provide Aitrios, an edge computing platform deeper into the Raspberry Pi community. More information is in our previous blog post.

The LUCID Vision Labs SENSAiZ SZP123S-001 smart camera is currently on the market, priced at $335.
