New CV25 SoC delivers advanced AI features at the edge in
home security, professional surveillance, and aftermarket
automotive cameras
Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA) a leading developer of
high-resolution video processing and computer vision
semiconductors, today introduced the CV25 camera System-on-Chip
(SoC), the latest in the CVflow family, combining advanced image
processing, high-resolution video encoding and CVflow computer
vision processing in a single, extremely low power design. The
CV25’s CVflow architecture provides the Deep Neural Network (DNN)
processing required for the next generation of affordable and
intelligent home monitoring, professional surveillance, and
aftermarket automotive solutions, including smart dash-cameras,
Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS), and electronic mirrors.
“CV25 brings computer vision at the edge into the mainstream,”
said Fermi Wang, President and CEO of Ambarella. “With this new
SoC, we are sharply focused on reducing our customer’s overall
system cost for delivery of significant computer vision
performance, high-quality image processing and advanced
cyber-security features at very low power. CV25-based cameras are
capable of performing Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the edge,
allowing features like facial recognition to happen in real-time on
the device, rather than in the cloud.”
AI applications enabled at the edge include person recognition
and the ability to distinguish between pets, persons, and vehicles.
In smart video doorbells, CV25 can automatically recognize familiar
faces approaching the front door, flag unknown persons, and alert
the homeowner when a package is delivered. In driver monitoring
systems, it can detect a driver’s drowsiness or level of
distraction by monitoring their eyes and facial expressions.
CV25 delivers efficient video encoding in both AVC and HEVC
formats with very low bitrates to minimize cloud storage costs. A
high-performance Image Signal Processor (ISP) delivers outstanding
imaging in low light conditions, and High Dynamic Range (HDR)
processing extracts maximum image detail in high-contrast scenes.
It includes a full suite of advanced cyber-security features to
protect against hacking including secure boot, TrustZone™, and I/O
virtualization. Based on 10nm ultra-low power process technology,
the CV25 chip is optimized for wire-free camera applications that
require long battery life and small form factors.
As part of the CVflow family, the CV25 chip shares a common SDK,
Computer Vision (CV) tools, ISP, and cyber-security features with
the existing CV22 and CV2 SoCs, allowing multiple price-performance
options. Ambarella’s complete set of CV tools helps customers
easily port their own neural networks onto CV25. The set includes a
compiler, debugger, and support for industry-standard machine
learning frameworks such as Caffe™ and TensorFlow™, with extensive
guidelines for Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) performance
optimizations.
