New CV22 SoC targets intelligent security, automotive, drone
and wearable cameras
Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA) a leading developer of low-power,
HD and Ultra HD video processing semiconductors, today introduced
the CV22 camera SoC, the second chip in the CVflow family,
combining image processing, 4Kp60 video encoding and CVflow
computer vision processing in a single, low power design. The
CV22’s CVflow architecture provides the DNN (Deep Neural Network)
processing required for the next generation of intelligent home
monitoring, automotive, drone and wearable cameras. Fabricated in
advanced 10nm process technology, it achieves an industry-leading
combination of low-power and high-performance in both human vision
and computer vision applications.
“CV22 enables customers to deploy cameras with high-performance
deep-learning capabilities,” said Fermi Wang, CEO of Ambarella.
“Compared with inefficient CPU and GPU solutions, CV22 provides
powerful computer vision performance combined with high-quality
image processing, efficient video encoding and the low-power
operation required to be deployed in mass production. It will
enable a new level of intelligence in cameras, ranging from person
recognition in home monitoring cameras to advanced ADAS
capabilities in automobiles.”
The CV22’s CVflow architecture provides computer vision
processing at full 4K or 8-Megapixel resolution at 30 frames per
second, to enable image recognition over long distances and with
high accuracy. It includes efficient 4K encoding in both AVC and
HEVC video formats, delivering high-resolution video streaming with
very low bitrates to minimize cloud storage costs. The CV22’s
next-generation ISP (Image Signal Processor) provides outstanding
imaging in low light conditions while HDR (High Dynamic Range)
processing extracts maximum image detail in high contrast scenes,
further enhancing the computer vision capabilities of the chip. It
includes a suite of advanced security features to prevent hacking,
including secure boot, TrustZone™ and I/O virtualization.
A complete set of tools is provided to help customers to easily
port their own neural networks onto the CV22 SoC. This includes
compiler, debugger and support for industry standard training tools
including Caffe™ and TensorFlow™, with extensive guidelines for CNN
(Convolutional Neural Network) performance optimizations.
