JAI PULNiX forms new "smart camera" business unit
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 5/1/2004
JAI PULNiX (Sunnyvale, CA) has announced that it has formed a new business unit in order to focus on the growing "smart camera" market. ''The smart-camera segment has been growing at rates that are outpacing the industry," said Toshi Hori, JAI PULNiX's CEO.
To lead the new smart-camera division (www.smartcamera.info), JAI PULNiX has hired Mike Kelley, a 25-year machine-vision veteran. "What will initially differentiate our product is the introduction of a hardware-based, high-performance neural networking processor contained entirely inside the camera," says Kelley. "This 'Zero Instruction Set Computer' or ZISC, will enable difficult applications to be solved by a simple, cost-effective 'show-and-go' smart camera." IBM developed the ZISC technology and chips in cooperation with Silicon Recognition. www.jaipulnix.com.
