Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIMX) (“Himax” or “Company”), a
leading supplier and fabless manufacturer of display drivers and
other semiconductor products, and Seeed Studio, the IoT hardware
partner providing services that empower developers to implement
their projects and products for digital transformation, today
announced the joint showcase of the SenseCAP A1101 LoRaWAN Vision
AI Sensor, embedded with Himax WiseEye™ smart image sensing
solution (“WiseEye”), at the upcoming CES 2023 from January 5 – 8,
2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Seeed Studio, with its tinyML Edge AI platform
enabling expertise, has created a plug-and-play and
easy-to-integrate SenseCAP A1101 vision sensor that runs machine
learning in support of a variety of AI models, such as image
recognition, people counting, target detection, meter recognition
and many others. This industry-leading battery-powered sensor
solution incorporates Himax HM0360 CMOS image sensor, supporting up
to 60 FPS VGA solution, and WiseEye WE1 AI processor, running at
400MHz local inferencing that facilitates powerful machine learning
at extremely low power consumption, as well as a LoRaWAN module,
featuring low-power, wide-area (LPWA) networking protocol for
long-range networks.
At CES, Himax and Seeed Studio will showcase the
SenseCAP A1101 sensor which has already been applied to real smart
agriculture cases. Powered by Himax’s ultralow power WiseEye
technology, the SenseCAP A1101 vision AI sensor can operate for
over 9 months while continuously collecting field images and
uploading the final data results from local inferencing every
minute. The vision AI sensor hardware is designed to adopt high
industrial protection grade that supports an operating temperature
range of -40 to 85 degrees Celsius and IP66 waterproof rating,
making it a good fit for IoT applications placed either in outdoor
or indoor argo-ecosystems. The sensor solution also supports rapid
configuration of the Bluetooth APP, and fast connection to gateways
and cloud servers, with only few clicks setup.
“We’re really happy and honored to work with
Himax to embed their WiseEye solution to this Vision AI device. To
be the most reliable IoT Hardware Partner for global developers, we
at Seeed are always looking to integrate advanced technologies into
ready-to-deploy hardware solutions for digital transformation in
vertical industries,” said Joey Jiang, GM of Industry and
Application Group of Seeed Studio. “Working with Himax is yet
another step forward in Seeed’s Vision to empower every developer
to achieve their digital transformation goals with Vision AI
technology. With SenseCAP A1101 LoRaWAN Vision AI Sensor, the
developers can combine vision and LPWAN to their IoT solutions to
serve various scenarios of smart farming, smart metering and
more.”
“Our WiseEye solution has been proven in the
notebook and many other applications, including automatic meter
reading, automotive, surveillance and smart office/home, just to
name a few. Seeed Studio is one of the leading AI platforms in the
world and our collaboration in the smart agriculture application is
a further validation of the suitability of our WiseEye technology
to a wide range of markets,” said Jordan Wu, CEO of Himax. “The
demand for battery-powered smart devices with AI-enabled smart
sensing is rapidly growing providing an opportunity for us to
further expand by joining forces with other AI platform partners by
offering value-added features for our customers in terms of
privacy, security, and superior battery life for diversified
endpoint AI devices.”
