As a manufacturer of advanced intelligent vision processing chips, Flyingchip has accurate insight into market demand, and China Exportsemi recommends that the first AIoT application series of high-performance end-side vision AI SoC chips launched by Flyingchip® bring new visual solutions for multiple application scenarios such as smart hardware, smart home, industrial code scanning, and night vision modules.
1. Product characteristics
(1) High-performance AI ISP empowers image processing
The A1 chip is equipped with self-developed AI ISP technology, covering resolutions from 0.3MP to 8MP. Compared with traditional ISP algorithms, it can achieve better noise reduction effects in ultra-low light environments, providing high-definition, high-contrast, and low-noise real-time images for cameras, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of image capture and processing optimization of smart vision devices in low-light conditions such as outdoor without lights at night. At the same time, it supports up to 3 frames of HDR synthesis, with a dynamic range of up to 120dB, which can effectively solve the situation of overexposure of local details or loss of dark details under complex lighting conditions such as strong light and backlight, bringing a well-layered and detailed image to the device. In addition, the built-in RGB-IR ISP module can realize the synchronous output of RGB and IR image formats, meet the requirements of the robot depth module for color image processing and depth calculation, and ensure the accuracy and response speed of intelligent devices such as robots in moving, navigation, obstacle avoidance and other task decisions. With up to 2 sensor inputs and synchronous processing capabilities, it can be adapted to image sensors of various specifications and shutter types, and flexibly realize a variety of industrial and consumer multi-vision application scenarios such as binocular stereo vision camera modules.

(2) Smart home field
The A1 chip is paired with a 3MP-6MP low-power fast-start CMOS image sensor and a fisheye lens to form a low-power visual perception solution with a large field of view. Relying on the image processing and visual recognition algorithm of the A1 chip, the location distribution of personnel can be accurately determined, and the air outlet angle and wind speed of the equipment can be adjusted in time to provide users with an intelligent and comfortable experience and create a more convenient and energy-saving home environment.
(3) Industrial code scanning field
For industrial machine vision system application scenarios such as automated production lines, the A1 chip is adapted to the 0.3MP-2MP global shutter CMOS image sensor, and realizes a significant improvement in image clarity through real-time processing and optimization of high-frame-rate sensor image input. At the same time, it supports the operation and result output of lightweight algorithm applications (barcode reading and identification, counting detection, etc.), and completes fast and accurate code scanning recognition and detection functions on the end side of industrial cameras, improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the production line.
(4) The field of night vision modules
The A1 chip is paired with a 4MP-8MP night vision full-color CMOS image sensor to form a high-performance night vision module solution. In night vision scenes, the solution can capture high-quality real-time images, and optimize processing through the high-performance AI ISP function of the A1 chip to achieve excellent low-light imaging effects, providing clear, layered, and low-noise night vision full-color images for various night vision scene camera applications, which are widely used in security monitoring, field observation, night rescue and other night operation scenarios, ensuring that accurate and reliable visual information can be obtained under low light conditions.
