Luca Verre, co-founder and CEO of Prophesee, said, "event vision sensors have excellent performance and energy efficiency, making them ideal for a wide variety of applications in the low-power edge artificial intelligence market. Based on commercial success in other applications, we have developed this new Metavision event vision sensor designed to meet the needs of edge system developers. The sensor is easy to integrate, configure and optimize for motion and object detection, presence perception, gesture recognition, eye tracking, and a variety of other use cases in high-growth markets. "

Based on Prophesee's rich experience and years of technology, GenX320 event vision sensors can bring advantages in speed, low latency, dynamic range and energy efficiency to a variety of applications. The GenX320 event vision sensor adopts BSI stack technology, the pixel size is 320x320 6.3 μ m, and adopts the miniature 1apace 5 "optical format. Therefore, in the embedded edge vision system with energy, calculation and size constraints, the GenX320 event vision sensor meets its technical requirements for efficient integrated event vision sensing. Even under challenging operating and lighting conditions, GenX320 can still provide stable, high-speed visual perception at ultra-low power consumption.

The benefits of GenX320 include:

Low-latency event timestamp, resolution of microseconds, and flexible data format.

On-chip intelligent power management mode, which reduces power consumption to 36uW and supports intelligent wake-up events, as well as deep sleep and standby modes.

Easily integrate / connect with standard SoC, with multiple integrated event data preprocessing, filtering and formatting functions to minimize external processing overhead.

The MIPI or CPI data output interface provides low-latency connectivity for embedded processing platforms, including low-power microcontrollers and modern neuromimicry processor architectures.

AI-ready: the on-chip histogram output is compatible with multiple AI accelerators.

Sensor-level privacy protection: thanks to the inherent sparse frameless event data of the event sensor and the static scene removal function, privacy can be protected at the sensor level.

Natively compatible with Prophesee Metavision Intelligence, Metavision Intelligence is currently the most comprehensive free event vision software suite in the industry, with more than 10000 users worldwide.

Potential application scenario

High-speed eye movement tracking for gaze rendering or seamless interaction in AR / VR / XR head display

Low latency, contactless human-computer interface in consumer electronic devices (TV, PC, game consoles, smart home, etc.)

Intelligent presence detection and population statistics in cameras of the Internet of things

Ultra-low Power always-on area Monitoring system

Fall detection cameras in homes and devices

Commercially available

GenX320 is now available for purchase from Prophesee and its sales partners. GenX320 comes with a complete set of development tools, including a comprehensive evaluation kit (Evaluation Kit) with on-board chip (COB) GenX320 modules or compact optical flexible modules, which can help developers easily explore and carry out optimization work. In addition, Prophesee offers a range of adapter suites that seamlessly connect to a variety of embedded platforms, such as STM32 MCU, reducing time to market (Time-to-Market).

Cooperative customer

Zinn Labs

Based on the unique features of the Prophesee Metavision event sensor, Zinn Labs is developing a new generation of eye tracking system. Prophesee's new GenX320 sensor can capture changes in eye and gaze movements in milliseconds. Compared with the traditional video-based eye tracking mode, using GenX320 sensor, Zinn Labs can track eye feature changes with less power and computation (the power of eye tracking system is less than 20 mW). In addition, due to the smaller package size of the new sensor, the event vision sensor can be used in AR / VR head display devices with limited space for the first time. Zinn Labs is pleased to work with Prophesee and we are integrating GenX320 sensors into our upcoming customer project. "

XPERI

"whenever vision technology is applied to products such as driver Monitoring Solutions (DMS) and TV services, privacy is always one of the top concerns for consumers. Through Prophesee Metavision event vision technology, we can understand the scene without a clear visual representation of the scene, raising our "privacy design (PbD)" principle to a more secure level. We only need to capture the change of each pixel, and there is no need to capture the whole scene like the traditional image sensor. Our algorithm can sense the details of the scene through the captured content, and there is no need to characterize it in detail. We have also developed a proof-of-concept demonstration to prove that the driver monitoring solution can be realized by using neural mimicry sensors. Using the 1MP neural mimicry sensor, we can infer that the performance is similar to the solution based on the active NIR lighting 2MP vision sensor. In the future, we will focus on GenX320 neuromorphological sensors, which are suitable for privacy-sensitive smart devices and will help us further enhance the user experience. "

ULTRALEAP

Through the high-precision gesture recognition and hand tracking capabilities in Ultra Leap's TouchFree application, we see the advantages of Prophesee event vision sensors in achieving contactless interaction. Prophesee event vision sensors can operate with extremely efficient energy consumption levels and low system latency in challenging environments, thereby enhancing the overall user experience and intuition of our contactless user interface (UI). With the launch of the new Genx320 sensor, more applications and devices, including battery-powered small systems and an increasing number of contactless use cases, will benefit from the robustness, low power consumption, low latency and high dynamic range of event vision sensors to further enhance the convenience and ease of use of all kinds of digital content interaction.
