RA'ANANA, Israel—Inuitive, a vendor of vision-on-chip processor technology, and Visidon, an AI-based image and video enhancement software provider based in Oulu, Finland, announced the release of a real-time low light enhancement solution the two companies co-developed. The joint solution, now available for deployment, addresses the main issues in traditional noise reduction algorithms for a variety of edge devices, such as robotics, consumer electronic devices with cameras, and surveillance systems, the companies say in a news release.
The solution combines Inuitive's all-in-one NU4100 vision-on-chip processor, which incorporates AI-powered image processing and depth sensing, with Visidon's advanced low light enhancement technology.
For robots to perform well in low light conditions, their vision processor must enhance and process low-light video quickly. Enhancement includes denoising mixed noise in the image due to low light, severe weather, or environmental conditions. Visidon's enhancement solution uses neural networks to effectively extract signals from the noise. Inuitive's NU4100 vision-on-chip processor hosts the Visidon solution, allowing robots to utilize it for processing.
The new co-solution allows high-performance robotic applications and enhances consumer communication and surveillance quality in real time, even in low light environments. It is suited to use cases such as robot use at night and drone flights in the dark.
Shlomo Gadot, CEO at Inuitive, comments, "We are very pleased to have partnered with Visidon. Through our co-developed solution with them, we now offer stellar image quality even in the most challenging light conditions, not only unlocking a huge market potential but also democratizing access to such technology."
Markus Turtinen, Co-founder and CEO at Visidon, adds, "Our partnership further expands our reach in the robotic applications market and beyond. We look forward to deepening this partnership."
