Arm introduces new image signal processor to advance vision systems for IoT and embedded markets​

Arm introduces new image signal processor to advance vision systems for IoT and embedded markets​

June 08, 2022

Mohamed Awad, vice president of IoT and Embedded, Arm

News highlights:

• Arm Mali-C55 is the smallest and most configurable image signal processor from Arm, already seeing success with licensees such as Renesas
• Delivers improved image quality and higher performance for advanced embedded and IoT vision systems with half the silicon area of previous generations
• Multi-camera high resolution support and seamless integration for more machine learning on-device offers new capabilities for silicon partners and OEMs

Image signal processors (ISPs) continue to be one of the most important information-generating devices, supporting a broad range of IoT vision system applications including commercial, industrial or home smart cameras, and drones. With increased demand for both more and higher quality image processing in future devices, Arm’s ISP technology roadmap is an area of continuing investment. Today, we are pleased to share the latest results of that work with the launch of the new Arm Mali-C55 ISP, the smallest and most configurable ISP from Arm to date, already proving popular with partners including our first public licensee, Renesas.

The Mali-C55 delivers upgraded image quality features, works under a wide range of different lighting and weather conditions, and is designed to enable maximum performance and capability in area and power constrained applications, making it ideal for smart camera and edge AI vision use cases. This advanced technology will deliver improved capabilities in several markets – surveillance and security cameras will be able to detect more critical detail, such as recognizing the exact information on license plates traveling at up to 75mph; home cameras and security systems will capture higher resolution images both inside and out; and smart home hubs can efficiently include advanced features like secure visual unlock.

For developers, we’re providing a complete software package for controlling the ISP, as well as a full set of tuning and calibration tools to help our partners to achieve the desired image quality for their application. Additionally, our latest roadmap of Total Solutions for IoT includes an upcoming Total Solution for vision, which will integrate the Mali-C55 – stay tuned for more updates on that.

Pushing the boundaries of image quality in the smallest area and power budgets

With multi-camera capability for up to 8 separate inputs, support for image resolutions up to 8K and a maximum image size up to 48 megapixels (MP), the Mali-C55 offers the most efficient combination of image quality, throughput, power consumption and silicon area. Building on the class-leading Mali-C52 ISP, it enables unrivalled image quality through features including improved tone mapping and spatial noise reduction, enhanced support for high dynamic range (HDR) sensors and seamless integration with machine learning accelerators to take advantage of neural networks for various de-noising techniques. By combining multiple Mali-C55 ISPs, larger image sizes can be achieved for applications that require greater than 48 MP capabilities, such as video conferencing.

For embedded and IoT vision applications, silicon footprint and cost are important factors, and with the Mali-C55 we’ve provided these enhanced features in almost half of the silicon area size of previous generations, significantly lowering power consumption for extended battery life, and in the process also lowering the cost of these devices.

Vision systems demand advanced machine learning

As ML moves closer to the edge, advanced image processing can be leveraged by integrating more ISPs into the SoCs. By enabling easy integration between Mali-C55 and machine learning accelerators, we’re delivering new levels of on-device processing in devices that require high quality vision systems because the output from the ISP can be sent directly to the ML accelerator. This reduces cost and processing time by having less data sent from device to cloud, without having to compromise on inferencing.

Configurability is key in a diverse market

The applications that require ever-advancing vision systems are wide-ranging, and so imaging technology has to be adaptable to specific market requirements. For example, a low-cost home camera system may require a simple, limited set of features whereas a commercial camera might demand more sophisticated capabilities such as high resolution, noise reduction and enhanced security. Silicon partners and OEMs need the freedom to easily add or remove features in line with their application requirements, and that’s why we’ve designed the Mali-C55 to be our most configurable ISP. In addition to the multi-camera support and integration with ML accelerators already mentioned, the Mali-C55 also includes industry standard AXI and AHB interfaces for easy integration with either Cortex-A or Cortex-M-based SoCs.

The Mali-C55 ISP illustrates Arm’s continued pursuit to provide industry-leading imaging technology. This new technology will enable SoC architects, imaging experts and embedded software developers to create market-leading products in the growing smart camera and edge AI vision markets.

How did you come to that conclusion?

Typo sorry if this is Akida - it's a new product from ARM we should see royalty payments as they hit the market.

Just checking if I’ve interpreted this correctly.

The LinkedIn page Jesse Chapman put up, liked by the great Anil Manker and commented on it also.

The actual article was posted earlier and Sailesh discusses both the Arm M33 and using Brainchip nodes but I can’t see them referenced in the Arm technicals so it confuses me as to how they are linked. I might have the language wrong but is it a SOC combining ARM M33 and Akida’s 2 nodes along with something else; (a sensor of some descriptions, eg camera or microphone) to produce a final product for manufactuers to put into a device?

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/

Sailesh “So that’s kind of the plan that we have, to evolve that into that landscape,” he said. “At the very low end, we have added an ARM M33 MCU and spiking neural network with BrainChip core licensed for selected applications – we have licensed what we need to license from BrainChip including the software to get the ball rolling.”

I agree with FF that I envisage an announcement of some sort when our actual product is available for sale and it looks as though we are getting close but just a bit confused with this latest information.

I also believe Renesas will use their own IP where possible so in reality Renesas is both a customer and competitor but we always knew we wouldn’t get all the pie to ourselves; nor do we need it all!

The current SP doesn’t concern me as the business is on solid foundations with fantastic leaders.

Just quietly: PVDM is a legend with his donation today. There really should be a documentary made about his life because he’s a great Australian we should be very proud of!

I don't know if that's relevant to you anymore. I was traveling on Chinese pages. There I came across SynSense. I saw that they are well known here at tse.
Merck has bought into SynSense.
https://www.merckgroup.com/de/news/china-seed-fund-investment-06-05-2020.html
""With this great first investment of our newly launched seed fund in China, we will further strengthen our relationships with local entrepreneurs and investors," said Isabel de Paoli, Chief Strategy Officer at Merck. "Our plan to play an active role in the Chinese innovation ecosystem is now paying off with this exciting move, which at the same time perfectly complements our activities in the Performance Materials business sector."

The investment in SynSense was made through Merck's Chinese seed fund, established in October 2019 by its strategic corporate venture fund M Ventures and Merck China's Innovation Hub. The Series A funding round, led by investment firm CTC Capital, saw participation from M Ventures, CAS Star, Ecovacs Robotics, Yunding and Archer Investment as venture capitalists."

So I don't think Merk is going to bring us in as a competitor. We are even mentioned here, so they were/are absolutely aware of us.
https://www.merckgroup.com/de/resea...er-connected-world/neuromorphic-networks.html
"Companies such as IBM, Intel, BrainChip, and SynSense (a company in which we have invested[6]), as well as academic institutions, are pioneering experimental platforms that simulate neurons based on thousands of processor cores and connect them to artificial synapses. IBM's TrueNorth chip, for example, consists of more than one million neurons connected by more than 250 million synapses.[7]"

At first I thought about a branch in China and why we don't have one there and whether it might make sense. I thought about RISC-V and China's maybe dependency.
But for us SiFive is already there. https://www.semimedia.cc/?p=5015
“We plan to expand the Chinese market significantly. The trade war has convinced China to build more chips inside China, and we have helped and benefited a lot. About 3-4 years ago, we realized that the trade war will be inevitable, so we decided to set up a completely independent company in China."
Is sell our IP enough or why don't we have a branch in China? I hope it has nothing to do with the front between China and Australia.

Diogeneses poem then made me figure out what you already know: SynSense and Prophesee

Rise, Long term support failed to hold, as the double bottom is inT
play now, the MACD has crossed over to the down move, RSI is on the nose as well, it will take some news to turn this around to the up & I don't think it will be today...IMO

Thanks Dolci, As I assume you would agree in the long game theses prices we are seeing of late will pale in comparison to what the future value per share will be. But as with most people we like to see if we can save a couple cents per share, save a few hundred here or a few thou their. Makes me laugh sometimes. Thank you again for your time to post a chart. Always appreciate other aspects of investing.

I cannot say how much this action on the part of Peter van der Made means to me at a personal level.

About 10 years ago now a truly wonderful and equally humble man who spent his entire life in the service of the community through his work as a specialist physician in the public hospital system retired and within six months was diagnosed with an aggressive form of dementia and within a further 8 months passed away. He was fully aware what the diagnosis held instore and was heart broken as he knew only too well what this was likely to mean to his family and those who needed and wanted to care for him. While he was not aware of it the violent aggressive person he became was such a terrible outcome to the gentle caring life he had lived.

I think it would be a fitting tribute to Peter van der Made that when the share price reaches $5.00 that we all take the opportunity to make a further donation in his name based upon our personal circumstances to the Lions Alzheimer's Foundation in Perth.

My opinion only DYOR

The CEO of Galaxy semiconductor liked my comment to Juan Chapa which said “hope you brought over some neuromorphic”

The CEO of Galaxy Semiconductors name is Wes Smith, I think FF may be right with his analysis on the reason why Juan went over there!

Cheers Baisyet and to everyone on here for all the love shown.I dont normally reveal much about myself,but of all the causes PVDM could have donated to this one really hit home and then FF post actually got me emotional.if you still have your parents(assuming they were good to you) dont be afraid to tell them you love them regularly.

I just called my mom because of you and described all this to her. I told her that I love her and she answered as well. This is the first time we have heard this from each other so directly. We are both now . Thank you for your open words, thank you for your nudge and thank you to all of you who are so open hearted. Brainchip is much more. Thank you zeeb0t for this place.
I'm happy to be a Sharholder from the bottom of my heart.
