根据8频道报道以及新加坡国立大学网站上的报道，新加坡国立大学的研究人员发明微小的视觉处理晶片，能用在超细智慧视觉系统和物联网上。新加坡国立大学的研究人员发明微小的视觉处理晶片，能用在超细智慧视觉系统和物联网上。国大的一组研究人员开发出称为EQSCALE的新微晶片，能在使用很少电源的情况下，获取录像中的细节。这种视频特征提取器的耗电量等于现有最佳晶片的20分之一，因此所需的电池可以很小，从而使智慧视觉系统缩小到只有几毫米。

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.
