The IMX501 CMOS rolling shutter sensor features 12.3 MP resolution at 4056 x 3040 px and on-sensor AI processing, enabled by its integrated ISP (Image Signal Processor), DSP (Digital Signal Processor), and on-chip SRAM. This on-sensor AI processing eliminates the need for expensive PC host resources, reduces latency, and lowers power consumption. Additionally, since AI processing and computation occur directly on the sensor and camera, no online cloud connection is needed. These AI models run entirely offline, locally on the camera.

The Triton Smart Machine Vision camera, weighing just 68 grams and measuring 29 x 29 mm, is designed for reliable operation in challenging industrial environments. Its electronics and AI sensor are housed in a durable, sealed two-piece aluminum case secured by four M2 screws. The camera features robust M12 and M8 connectors for Ethernet and GPIO, resistant to shock and vibration. An optional IP67 lens tube offers dustproof and water-resistant protection without an external enclosure. The Triton operates efficiently within a wide temperature range from -20°C to 55°C ambient.

Triton Smart Camera: Processing Pipeline
The Triton Smart features two ISPs (Image Signal Processing): one located on-sensor for the AI engine and the other on the camera’s FPGA for regular image processing.
The IMX501 sensor captures high dynamic range, low noise RGB images, which are then sent to both the sensor’s ISP and the camera’s FPGA ISP for separate processing. The AI ISP pre-processes the image for the AI engine into an input tensor, which then outputs the inference results in the output tensor. Simultaneously, the image is sent to the FPGA ISP, where it is processed as it would be in a standard machine vision camera. The input and output tensors are embedded as chunk data and combined with the image from the FPGA ISP before being sent to the host PC.
