Sony ties up with Microsoft over AI enabled smart camera solutions
By MYBRANDBOOK
Sony and Microsoft has joined hands to bring solutions that will make AI-powered smart cameras and video analytics easier to access and deploy for their mutual customers.
Microsoft Azure AI capabilities will be embedded on Sony's intelligent vision sensor IMX500, which extracts useful information out of images in smart cameras and other devices.
Sony will also create a smart camera managed app powered by Azure IoT and Cognitive Services that complements the IMX500 sensor and expands the range and capability of video analytics opportunities for enterprise customers.
"By linking Sony's innovative imaging and sensing technology with Microsoft's excellent cloud AI services, we will deliver a powerful and convenient platform to the smart camera market," said Terushi Shimizu, Representative Director and President, Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation.
These days video analytics has been used by enterprise customers across industries to uncover new revenue opportunities, streamline operations and solve challenges.
"Video analytics and smart cameras can drive better business insights and outcomes across a wide range of scenarios for businesses," said Takeshi Numoto, Corporate Vice President and Commercial Chief Marketing Officer at Microsoft.
Sony's smart camera managed app powered by Azure is targeted toward independent software vendors (ISVs) specializing in computer vision and video analytics solutions, as well as smart camera original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) aspiring to add value to their hardware offerings.
As part of the partnership, Microsoft and Sony will also work together to facilitate hands-on co-innovation with partners and enterprise customers in the areas of computer vision and video analytics as part of Microsoft's AI and IoT Insider Labs programme.
