One platform for single and multicamera systems

Our vision processors let you execute facial recognition, object detection, pose estimation and other artificial intelligence (AI) features in real time using the same software. With scalable performance for up to 12 cameras, you can build smart security cameras, autonomous mobile robots and everything in between.

Low-power vision

Battery-powered systems such as security cameras and vacuum robots need low-cost vision processors that deliver optimized performance and low-power operation.

Energy-efficient automation

Machine vision and professional surveillance systems need vision processors with more performance, additional features and power efficiency.

High-performance autonomy

Autonomous systems have complex designs that often include sensor fusion and functional safety features, demanding high performance at an affordable cost.

Why choose TI for edge AI vision applications?
