OmniVision Technologies, Inc., a developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, has announced in advance of CES the OAX8000 AI-enabled, automotive application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), which is optimized for entry-level, stand-alone driver monitoring systems (DMS), the company said.

The OAX8000 uses a Stacked-die architecture to provide the industry's only DMS processor with on-chip DDR3 SDRAM memory (1GB). This is also the only dedicated DMS processor to integrate a neural processing unit (NPU) and image signal processor (ISP), which provides dedicated processing speeds up to 1.1 trillion operations per second for eye gaze and eye tracking algorithms.

These fast processing speeds with 1K MAC of convolutional neural network (CNN) acceleration, along with integrated SDRAM, enable the lowest power consumption available for DMS systems--the OAX8000 and OmniVision automotive image sensor consume just 1 watt in typical conditions, combined. Further optimizing DMS systems, this integration also reduces the board area for the engine control unit (ECU).

The OAX8000's on-chip NPU is supported by the popular TensorFlow, Caffe, MXNet and ONNX tool chains. Additionally, this ASIC embeds quad Arm[R] Cortex[R] A5 CPU cores with...
