Sony's Vision for a Society Enabled by Edge AI Sensing Platform
With the advancement of AI and digital transformation, a wide range of IoT devices are connecting to the cloud, where data acquired from these devices is processed and utilized. In this context, Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation, which has been developing image sensors, has been promoting the construction of an Edge AI Sensing Platform to accelerate the implementation of solutions using image sensors. This platform enables the conversion of metadata (text information) through AI inference processing on sensor devices, and provides various functions to easily build solutions from edge to cloud. We would like to introduce our case studies and the society we aim to realize through these efforts.
