Integrated on-sensor AI processing
Sony AI Vision Sensors integrate image capture and AI processing directly on the sensor, enabling real-time edge AI without external processors.
Unlike traditional systems that send image data to the cloud or host CPU, these sensors process data on-chip, reducing latency, bandwidth, and power consumption while improving data privacy.
Sony currently offers two models:
As an authorized Sony distributor, RESTAR FRAMOS provides access to these AI-enabled sensors and supports integration into your system.

AI models run directly on the sensor, eliminating the need for external GPUs or cloud processing.
Instead of transmitting full images, the sensor can output metadata only (e.g., object type, position).
By processing data on-chip, AI Vision Sensors enable low-latency decision-making.
Sensors include embedded memory and AI engines, allowing different models to be deployed based on application needs.
