Leopard Imaging, SSS GS500 AI Vision System For IIoT, Smart Cities

Leopard Imaging and Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (SSS) are working together to develop the ground-breaking GS500 AI vision system, which will enable next-gen industrial automation and smart cities.

With the world’s first intelligent vision sensor (the Sony IMX500) and their edge AI sensing platform (AITRIOS), the cutting-edge GS500-MIPI camera and the GS500 AI vision system enable high-end edge AI processing and edge AI processing.

The Leopard Imaging GS500 AI vision system, with its 12-megapixel sensor, is an excellent tool for handling machine-learning tasks directly on the camera and scene interpretation. This system has a scalable architecture, edge AI, and great speed and security.

Network options including PoE, WiFi, and LTE-CatM1, combined with OTA AI and app upgrades, make installation and maintenance simple.

With Sony’s IMX500 sensor, data minimization is a crucial component that ensures data anonymization at the forefront and applies the highest level of data protection. At the time of acquisition, images are analyzed to extract metadata, and only when required is an image captured.

Because of this mechanism, which lowers data storage and transfer, the GS500 AI vision system is a safe and dependable option for a range of applications, such as industrial automation, robotic vision, and smart city infrastructure.

“Leopard’s new solution, leveraging Sony Semiconductor Solutions’ IMX500, creates a versatile, outdoor, edge AI camera for smart city use cases like traffic counting, curb management, parking occupancy, pedestrian safety, and more. We are pleased to welcome another camera partner into Sony’s growing AITRIOS™ ecosystem, expanding offerings for our customers that work under a variety of IoT environments.” – Yu Kitamura, Program Manager for Smart Cities, Sony Semiconductor Solutions.

In 2023, Leopard Imaging won first place in the Pedestrian Safety Challenge Hackathon Competition co-sponsored by the tinyML Foundation, and the City of San José, with technology partner, Sony Semiconductor Solutions. This competition laid a solid foundation for the GS500 AI system research and development.

This fall, Leopard Imaging, Sony Semiconductor Solutions, tinyML, and the City of San José will join together on webinar to discuss how AI vision solutions could improve pedestrian safety efforts in smart cities on September 10th, 8a.m. PST. Click here for webinar registration.
