Hanson notes that the company has more than 60 percent market share, and shipped about 1.6 billion sensors last year, including for all three cameras in Apple's iPhone 11 Pro. https://www.theverge.com/...
“Sony said the method provides increased privacy while also making it possible to do near-instant analysis and object tracking.” https://twitter.com/...
My latest on Sony with @vladsavov: Sony says this AI-equipped sensor can reduce data transmission latency between image sensor and GPU. https://www.bloomberg.com/...
All technology ultimately shrinks to local. To have the AI built into the image sensor you gain a tremendous advantage in battery usage and speed. We will see just about all cloud AI become a feature of chips nanometers away not miles away. This is astonishing Sony Technology. ht…
