AMBARELLA CV5 AI VISION SOC FOR LOW POWER COMPUTER VISION APPLICATIONS

Ambarella announced the CV5 AI Vision SoC for AI applications using its specialized computer vision technology. The AI Vision SoC features 8K video or 4K video processing along with video encoding/decoding, and CVflow computer vision processing in a single, low-power design. The SoC is fabricated using 5nm technology and allows the development of intelligent automotive camera systems, consumer cameras (drone, action, and 360°), and robotic cameras.

Talking about its low power design, the SoC can function below 2W for 8K video recording at 30 fps, and below 5W for 8K video recording at 60 fps. The CVflow architecture of the device offers the DNN (Deep Neural Network) processing hence, compatible for intelligent cameras in numerous AI applications.

The target applications of the SoC include sports and robotics cameras. It also offers advanced image processing for VR cameras. It supports multi-channel drive recorders and data loggers. The SoC is expected to grow in the automobile industry for ADAS systems with multiple cameras for driver assistance. This includes lane departure warning, forward collision warning, and driver monitoring.
