Description
DRP-AI utilizes an AI accelerator consisting of a Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor (DRP) and AI-MAC that accelerates AI inference to achieve both high-speed AI inference and low power consumption, enabling real-time image AI without heat sinks or cooling fans. In addition, the OpenCV accelerator, which takes advantage of DRP technology featuring high flexibility, enables high-speed image processing outside of AI in addition to image preprocessing for AI inference, all on a single chip.
These features enable smaller devices and lower BOM costs for vision AI applications in a wide range of embedded markets, including surveillance security, industrial automation, and healthcare.
