CSEM Intelligent Vision Sensor

Virtual Press Office: The Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM) introduced a wireless version of its innovative miniature ViSe vision sensor system.

The ViSeLink system is composed of the ViSe camera vision sensor and digital signal processing chip (DSP) that runs identification algorithms. The system speeds throughput of visual data by enabling the vision sensor chip itself to extract key image features needed for interpretation, prior to sending it for software processing on the DSP.

Using recognition of moving forms, the system can distinguish between human versus animal intruders, can spot elderly citizens falling, distinguish people carrying unconcealed weapons, and identify small children, roadway markings and other shapes.

The ViSe sensor in the heart of the system has 160x128 pixel resolution with 50um pixel pitch. The pixel fill factor is just 8.7%, probably due to the integrated pixel functionality.
