根據8頻道報道以及新加坡國立大學網站上的報道，新加坡國立大學的研究人員發明微小的視覺處理晶片，能用在超細智慧視覺系統和物聯網上。新加坡國立大學的研究人員發明微小的視覺處理晶片，能用在超細智慧視覺系統和物聯網上。國大的一組研究人員開發出稱爲EQSCALE的新微晶片，能在使用很少電源的情況下，獲取錄像中的細節。這種視頻特征提取器的耗電量等于現有最佳晶片的20分之一，因此所需的電池可以很小，從而使智慧視覺系統縮小到只有幾毫米。

NUS engineers invent tiny vision processing chip for ultra-small smart vision systems and IoT applications

Led by Associate Professor Massimo Alioto from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the NUS Faculty of Engineering, the team’s discovery is a major step forward in developing millimetre-sized smart cameras with near-perpetual lifespan. It will also pave the way for cost-effective Internet of Things (IoT) applications, such as ubiquitous safety surveillance in airports and key infrastructure, building energy management, workplace safety, and elderly care.

“IoT is a fast-growing technology wave that uses massively distributed sensors to make our environment smarter and human-centric. Vision electronic systems with long lifetime are currently not feasible for IoT applications due to their high power consumption and large size. Our team has addressed these challenges through our tiny EQSCALE chip and we have shown that ubiquitous and always-on smart cameras are viable. We hope that this new capability will accelerate the ambitious endeavour of embedding the sense of sight in the IoT, as well as the realisation of the Smart Nation vision in Singapore,” said Assoc Prof Alioto.
