Sony's Intelligent Vision Sensor is the first to have AI processing hardware on board

14 May 2020
The image sensor can do object recognition in tracking in just 3.1 milliseconds - and it doesn't need the cloud or an external CPU to do it.

      Sonny needs bigger Photo Sensor like one on huawei, with more resolution. And pixel binning. Then you introduce this AI, Zeiss Optics and Alfa technology's.

      That is the winner phone of the year !!! ;)

        I miss my Xperia Z2 the front speakers audio quality so sweet and nice, unlike my China phone although it is cheap but quality is way too cheap that broke sounds mess up my listening experience.

          Well interesting.
          Xiaomi or Realme or Nubia red magic with this technology will cost maybe 300 to 400 bucks flagship device.
          Sony low end midranger will be sold for same price with this technology barely using it due to a low end specs.

Xperia 10 ii looks pretty nice and cool camera quality not bad either, how can you don't see the review before giving negative comments, just giving negative comment such a trolls, I remember your IP, you are one of the regular trolls always look down Sony. I think based on the Xperia 10ii camera quality looks so nice the Xperia 1 ii must even better.

              with lower sensor quality, competitors always produce better pictures than xperias.

The Sony will exclusively for Xperia even they sold this sensor for a higher price to their competitors, they will remain the best "codes" for Xperia. Only Sony can unleash the full potential. It is not the ads or trolling or shady marketing can done.

Come on, Sony did achieve such kinda supremacy through their night vision camera back in 90's I suppose and they were shutdown due to privacy.

                      Meanwhile oneplus comes with ir vision in real product, its not all what sony promise, but at least users got it now instead of just companies and later.
                      thank you oneplus

                        I didn't even mention their name nor tried to call out them out of nowhere, but I guess Samsung fans' brains are so deluded that they assume that everything we say is always about your impotent brand, eh?
                        Next time you try to troll here, make sure your phone wouldn't overheat and would be able to focus quickly in low light, otherwise your $1000 phone is useless.

You wouldn't even need a System on Chip (SoC) to run this on, if you understand what I mean! Well, the mobiles and other electronics with a SoC aren't the only products that would be helped vastly with this Technology! Sony has a very good name in innovation and in future you will surely see this technology in peek, doesn't matter if Sony will be on top or where. Other companies would surely implement their own ideas in this technology and would get better too. This is futuristic and this is how it starts! No need to process an image eliminates the need for other chips and/or memory to work. Power consumption will be less, things will be rapid fast! Let's get onto the mobile itself. Do you have any ideas how many codes the SoC would need to run to process and then the AI to recognise the scene? The way is like- Camera Sensors to Ram to SoC to AI to Rom. This one ends just within camera itself. Just one tiny example! this one will be a great use in medical, automobiles and other industries!

                              Telephone, 15 May 2020This could also assist blind people. Would it be called a s... moreExactly! This is just the way I was thinking lately and I ended up with this article! Just think, how grateful it would be to mount a camera and this sensor in a walking stick of a blind person. A little bit of haptic vibration or even voice to help the blind person. Yup, the AI can understand where the sidewalks are, and can alert if he/she is about to go the other way. Same goes about the pedestrian crossing and the traffic lights etc., It can just monitor everything and can be an eye for a blind person.

                                Shanti Dope, 15 May 2020Now this is the real thing, unlike that 500MP 1/3" sensor t... moreYeah, he here is attacking Samsung on an article that has nothing to do with Samsung. I hope you were all over the article about Sony's poor Q1 sales, as well. Shill.

                                  It's a huge step to advance Robotics.

                                    Now this is the real thing, unlike that 500MP 1/3" sensor that the other brand is thinking of developing.
