Himax Launches Intelli-Sensing Module Enabling Context-Aware AI Vision Sensing on the Edge
28 März 2022 - 11:00AM
Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIMX) (“Himax” or “Company”), a
leading supplier and fabless manufacturer of display drivers and
other semiconductor products, today announced its ultralow power
Intelli-Sensing Module featuring AI vision sensing in human
detection, people counting, face detection and face recognition to
enable a broad range of context-aware applications on the
edge. Himax Intelli-Sensing Module will debut at the
tinyML Summit 2022 on March 29 – 30, 2022.
Himax Intelli-Sensing Module incorporates the
Company’s proprietary WE-I Plus AI processor and HM01B0 AoS
(Always-On Sensor) camera in ultralow power feature. The module is
highly integrated and compact in size, measured at just 12.5 mm x
17.0 mm x 2.45 mm (length x width x height) along with 22-pin FPC
connector pinouts, which can be easily attached to a device board
by standard 24-pin ZIF FPC connector or by standard assembly
process for an immediate system integration. For vison sensing
needs in context-aware applications, the Intelli-Sensing module
offers numerous pre-trained machine learning models in human
detection, people counting, face detection and face recognition.
Select inferences can be programmed to the Intelli-Sensing module
to accommodate the customer specific use cases. These AI inferences
will be executed locally on the device at the edge and subsequently
deliver AI-enabled personalized metadata in byte-level size to the
cloud system while avoiding sending massive raw images, thereby
improving privacy, latency, power consumption and ultimately
cultivating user experience.
“Himax Intelli-Sensing module is a production
ready solution that combines our ultralow power WE-I Plus AI
processor, HM01B0 QVGA image sensor, and full-blown software stack
with pre-trained machine learning models,” said Mark Chen, Vice
President of Smart Sensing business at Himax. “Our Intelli-Sensing
module will drastically reduce the significant entry barriers to
new market entrants or system developers in deploying computer
vision and machine learning AI capabilities to edge devices by
eliminating the software, hardware and camera design and
development efforts, as well as procurement and module
manufacturing arrangements. Additional versatile AI vision software
feature releases will continuously be made available to meet the
emerging demand for the customer’s new AI use cases,” concluded Mr.
Mark Chen.
Himax Intelli-Sensing module is primarily
targeting human-machine interface (HMI), smart home, and smart
retail applications. On March 29 – 30, Himax will participate in
the tinyML Summit 2022 and showcase Intelli-Sensing module in
related scenarios.
