LIPSedge™ S-Series High-Resolution 3D Stereo Camera with Edge-AI Enabled


LIPSedge™ S-Series High-Resolution 3D Stereo Camera with Edge-AI Enabled

Exhibitor: LIPS Corporation
Hall/Booth: 2/2-658

 

The absence of high-resolution 2D and 3D image capabilities, along with the lack of edge computing functionality, poses significant challenges in diverse industrial applications. The deficiency in high-resolution imaging for both 2D and 3D dimensions compromises data accuracy, impeding critical tasks like quality control, object recognition, and inspection processes.

In sectors such as robotics and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR), the inability to simultaneously acquire detailed 2D and 3D data leads to diminished precision in object recognition and manipulation. Furthermore, the lack of edge computing capability in the camera device gives rise to latency issues and bandwidth constraints, necessitating the transmission of camera data to remote servers for processing.

This reliance on centralized processing not only raises privacy and security concerns but also restricts functionality in offline environments, fostering increased dependence on expensive cloud services. The cumulative impact of these limitations reverberates across various industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and virtual and augmented reality, detrimentally affecting the efficiency, accuracy, and overall capabilities of industrial processes. Addressing these challenges requires the integration of high-resolution 2D and 3D camera capabilities with edge computing, offering tangible benefits such as improved performance, reduced latency, enhanced privacy, and increased flexibility in deployment. 

The LIPSedge™ S-Series emerges as an innovative solution, strategically designed to address challenges in industrial automation. The device seamlessly integrates the Ambarella CV2 CVflow® SoC, delivering high-performance edge AI and image processing capabilities, including the essential deep neural network (DNN) processing required for intricate tasks.

As a next-gen 3D camera series, it goes beyond conventional capabilities by harmonizing high-resolution 2D and 3D image processing within a single camera, with roadmap achieving up to 4K RGB-D resolution. Specifically engineered for industries demanding a convergence of 2D imaging and 3D machine vision capabilities, the LIPSedge™ S-Series redefines possibilities. Its compact form factor is coupled with robust industrial capabilities, offering a versatile solution for a range of applications.

This device facilitates GigE/PoE data and power transmission across distances of up to 100 meters, housed within an IP67-rated rugged enclosure that ensures resilience against dust and water. The incorporation of a built-in IMU and heatsink enhances its adaptability for various applications, including but not limited to robotic pick & place, depalletizing, visual inspection, and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR). In essence, the LIPSedge™ S-Series not only meets the demands of industrial automation but surpasses expectations, presenting a sophisticated solution that adeptly tackles the identified limitations in the industry.
