This latest engagement extends the long and successful partnership between the two companies, which spans almost a decade of licensing multiple generations of CEVA's computer vision, audio/voice and AI DSPs. The companies will showcase this latest Edge AI camera solution at CES 2023 in CEVA's meeting suite.
"Today's multi-sensor security cameras need powerful computer vision and edge AI processing capabilities to maximize performance and minimize the reliance on cloud connectivity for intelligent analysis," said Novatek AVP Jimmy Su. "CEVA's SP500 DSP delivers superior real-time performance for computer vision, AI-based analytics and multi-sensing sensor fusion at the edge, ensuring our customers have a powerful, flexible edge AI camera solution which they can customize to their requirements."
The Novatek NT98530 SoC is a highly-integrated SoC with high image quality, low bitrate, low power consumption, providing the best cost/performance Edge-Computing IP camera solution in the market today for multi-sensor security cameras. It supports up to 640M pixel/sec to achieve over 8MPixel/60FPS video performance while simultaneously performing advanced AI on each frame, with minimal power consumption. The integrated SensPro2, CEVA's latest DSP generation along with its comprehensive & optimized SDKs delivers up to 6X DSP performance improvement in computer vision, 2X AI inferencing improvement and 20% lower power compared to its predecessor, ensuring that Novatek's latest SoC has ample performance available to support even the most complex computer vision algorithms and neural networks inferencing.
"We're pleased to extend our collaboration with Novatek to enable their latest generation surveillance SoC support multiple cameras and the most advanced computer/vision AI use cases," said Ran Snir, Vice President and General Manager of the Vision Business Unit at CEVA. "Our SensPro2 DSP is primed to support more of the camera analytics workload in real time at the edge, including the ability to perform vision/AI processing for multiple camera sensors in parallel, at minimal power consumption".
CEVA and Novatek will showcase the NT98530 Evaluation Board at CES 2023, January 5th to 8th 2023 in Las Vegas, NV, in CEVA's meeting suite #2937 at the Westgate Hotel. To arrange a viewing or to meet with CEVA's computer vision/AI experts attending the show, contact Email Contact.
SensPro2™ is the highly-scalable and enhanced 2nd generation high performance sensor hub DSP for multitasking sensing and AI of multiple sensors including camera, Radar, LiDar, Time-of-Flight, microphones and inertial measurement units. The SensPro2 family is designed to handle multiple sensor processing workload for contextually aware devices and can be utilized in modern intelligent systems in automotive (inc. ISO26262 functional safety compliance), robotics, surveillance, AR/VR, voice assistants, wearables, mobile and smart home devices. The SensPro2 maximizes performance-per-watt for multi-sensor processing use cases by utilizing a combination of high performance single and half precision floating point math, point cloud creation and Deep Neural Network processing, along with parallel processing capacity for voice, imaging, and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). The SensPro2 platform approach is paired with advanced software and development tools that include LLVM C/C++ compiler, Eclipse based integrated development environment, CEVA Deep Neural Network (CDNN) graph AI compiler for neural networks including the CDNN-Invite API for inclusion of custom AI engines, TensorFlow Lite Micro support, OpenVX API, and a multitude of software libraries for OpenCL, CEVA-CV imaging functions and CEVA-SLAM SDK.
