SmartSens, a leading provider of CMOS image sensors, recently announced the official launch of AI smart sensor chip platform concept. The &quot;AI smart sensor chip platform&quot; aims to promote the development of artificial intelligence technology, including the Internet of Things, by combining artificial intelligence algorithms with advanced sensor technologies to develop the next generation of &quot;smart sensor chips.&quot; With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology in the field of IoT, its hardware implementation has two major trends - cloud computing and edge computing. Although the computing power of the cloud and edge is gradually strengthening and advanced communication technologies including 5G have also been applied, the current hardware conditions still cannot meet the increasing application requirements. Therefore, sensor-side computing, as a complement to cloud computing and edge-side computing, has become one of the hottest directions in hardware implementation. Sensor-side computing, as its name implies, runs computing functions on the sensor, utilizing the computing power on the chip making the senor “intelligent”. By “proximizing” the data processing to the sensor side, developers can achieve faster data processing speeds, higher system efficiency, greater data privacy protection, reduce data transmission delays, save system power, and reduce artifacts. The network bandwidth requirements, as well as the reduction of system hardware implementation costs, enable hardware innovation of the Internet of Things from the sensor side.<div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img size="5" _root="[object Object]" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1605176581215782271.png"/></div>▽<div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img size="5" _root="[object Object]" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1605176593155593265.png"/></div>SmartSens is confident in the future of &quot;smart sensors&quot; and the ability to package data processing in sensor chips is inseparable from the support of 3D chip manufacturing technology. SmartSens has selected TSMC&#x27;s world-leading 3D chip manufacturing process for its &quot; AI smart sensor chip platform&quot; as its development platform, and hopes to work with leading partners to achieve innovative &quot;smart sensor&quot; designs, further promoting the Internet of Things industry and development of artificial intelligence technology. In the future, &quot;smart sensor chips&quot; will be widely used in security, smart cities and other scenarios. In these scenarios there are often a large number of application requirements, such as face recognition and license plate recognition, which require massive data processing. The &quot;smart sensor chip&quot; with data processing capabilities and an innovative artificial intelligence algorithm can solve the problems of data processing volume and data transmission bandwidth faced by these application scenarios, greatly improving system efficiency. Tommy Wang, vice president of systems and algorithms at SmartSens, said: &quot;Sensor-side computing and &#x27;smart sensor chips&#x27; are one of the major trends in the future development of the IoT industry. To achieve this innovation, it is impossible to rely solely on sensor chip manufacturers. SmartSens launched the &#x27; AI smart sensor chip platform&#x27; to explore the infinite possibilities of &#x27;smart sensor chip&#x27; innovation by leveraging the strength of the entire industry through close collaboration with partners across the entire industry chain.&quot; At Vision China 2019 held in Shanghai on March 20-22, SmartSens demonstrated the concept of “ AI smart sensor chip platform” and will release more information on “ AI smart sensor chip platform” development in the near future.

SmartSens, a leading supplier of high-performance CMOS image sensors, announced the latest addition, SC4210, to its SmartClarity® product line. SC4210 is a 4 megapixel image sensor based on advanced BSI (back-illuminated) pixel technology, using a 1/1.8″ optical size to deliver excellent imaging quality in low illumination environments.Until now, CMOS image sensor developers have been challenged to achieve clear image recognition in low-light or no-light conditions. Although traditional infrared or white fill light technology can obtain relatively clear images in low illumination environments, it sacrifices image color, and can only produce black-and-white images. With the increasing performance requirements for image recognition in the field of security, surveillance and artificial intelligence, CMOS image sensors are not only required to provide color information, but also better technical indicators such as resolution, sensitivity, dynamic range and frame rate.With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things (IoT), application scenarios such as smart security, smart industry and intelligent driving have become increasingly popular. For example, in the China market alone, 20 million sets of intelligent monitoring systems equipped with AI technology have been installed. This series of new application scenarios puts higher performance requirements on CMOS image sensors. In order to meet the needs of various industry applications, SmartSens has innovatively integrated the BSI pixel process into the CMOS image sensor development, and launched the SC4210 CMOS image sensor, with market breakthrough of the 1/1.8″ optical size. This product has many industry-leading technical advantages, including:· Large-size pixel structure and high sensitivity: SC4210 uses BSI pixel process to achieve a 3.0μm large-size pixel structure and a 1/1.8″ optical size, with sensitivity of up to 4800mV/Lux*s and maximum signal-to-noise ratio of 43dB.· Ultra-low-light performance: with SmartSens’ unique pixel architecture, SC4210 is leading the market with SNR1s of 0.21 lux.· Wide dynamic range: SC4210 supports ultra-high dynamic range (over 100dB).· Near-infrared enhancement: SC4210 features near-infrared (NIR) enhancement, which nearly doubles the quantum efficiency (QE) of the 850nm to 940nm band.· High frame rate: SC4210 can run at up to 60fps with 4 megapixel resolution.<div class="media-wrap image-wrap align-center" style="text-align:center"><img class="media-wrap image-wrap align-center" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1605176981517442610.png"/></div>The SC4210 CMOS image sensor will be used primarily in applications such as professional security surveillance cameras, face recognition smart cameras, industrial cameras, high-end traffic recorders, motion cameras and video teleconferencing systems. With the powerful performance of the industry-leading 4 megapixel image sensor with 1/1.8″ optical size, applications can achieve clear color imaging in low-light conditions, greatly improving the scene adaptation of imaging products.According to SmartSens “Since SmartSens’ beginning, we have always taken customer needs and industry application development as the core of our technological innovation. We launched SC4210 to meet the industry’s evolving needs for emerging applications in key areas such as AI and IoT. We leveraged our extensive product development experience in CMOS image sensors to develop SC4210 — an innovative image sensing product based on advanced BSI pixel technology.&quot;
