Advancing intelligence at the edge
Scalable and efficient vision processors bring real-time intelligence to smart camera systems
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?
Scalable performance
Build and deploy affordable edge AI applications at scale with a portfolio of devices built for low, mid and high performance.
Energy efficient processing
Reduce system power, latency and cost with deep learning and vision accelerators that enable industry-leading energy efficiency.
Faster time to market
Reduce development time with end-to-end software and tools, including free hardware evaluation, image signal processing (ISP) tuning and AI model training.
