TEL AVIV, Israel, March 8, 2023 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

The powerful new Hailo-15 Vision Processor Units (VPUs) bring unprecedented AI

performance directly to cameras deployed in smart cities, factories, buildings,

retail locations, and more.

Hailo, the pioneering chipmaker of edge artificial intelligence (AI)

processors, today announced its groundbreaking new Hailo-15(TM)family of

high-performance vision processors, designed for integration directly into

intelligent cameras to deliver unprecedented video processing and analytics at

the edge.

With the launch of Hailo-15, the company is redefining the smart camera

category by setting a new standard in computer vision and deep learning video

processing, capable of delivering unprecedented AI performance in a wide range

of applications for different industries.

With Hailo-15, smart city operators can more quickly detect and respond to

incidents; manufacturers can increase productivity and machine uptime;

retailers can protect supply chains and improve customer satisfaction; and

transportation authorities can recognize everything from lost children, to

accidents, to misplaced luggage.

“Hailo-15 represents a significant step forward in making AI at the edge more

scalable and affordable,” stated Orr Danon, CEO of Hailo. “With this launch, we

are leveraging our leadership in edge solutions, which are already deployed by

hundreds of customers worldwide; the maturity of our AI technology; and our

comprehensive software suite, to enable high performance AI in a camera

form-factor.”

The Hailo-15 VPU family includes three variants — the Hailo-15H, Hailo-15M, and

Hailo-15L — to meet the varying processing needs and price points of smart

camera makers and AI application providers. Ranging from 7 TOPS (Tera Operation

per Second) up to an astounding 20 TOPS, this VPU family enables over 5x higher

performance than currently available solutions in the market, at a comparable

price point. All Hailo-15 VPUs support multiple input streams at 4K resolution

and combine a powerful CPU and DSP subsystems with Hailo’s field-proven AI core.

By introducing superior AI capabilities into the camera, Hailo is addressing

the growing demand in the market for enhanced video processing and analytic

capabilities at the edge. With this unparalleled AI capacity,

Hailo-15-empowered cameras can carry out significantly more video analytics,

running several AI tasks in parallel including faster detection at high

resolution to enable identification of smaller and more distant objects with

higher accuracy and less false alarms.

As an example, the Hailo-15H is capable of running the state-of-the-art object

detection model YoloV5M6 with high input resolution (1280x1280) at real time

sensor rate, or the industry classification model benchmark, ResNet-50, at an

extraordinary 700 FPS.

With this family of high-performance AI vision processors, Hailo is also

pioneering the use of vision-based transformers in cameras for real-time object

detection. The added AI capacity can also be utilized for video enhancement and

much better video quality in low-light environments, for video stabilization,

and high dynamic range performance.

Hailo-15-empowered cameras lower the total cost of ownership in massive camera

deployments by offloading cloud analytics to save video bandwidth and

processing, while improving overall privacy due to data anonymization at the

edge. The result is an ultra-high-quality AI-based video analytics solution

that keeps people safer, while ensuring their privacy and allows organizations

to operate more efficiently, at a lower cost and complexity of network

infrastructure.

The Hailo-15 vision processors family, like the Hailo-8TM AI accelerator, which

is already widely deployed, are engineered to consume very little power, making

them suitable for every type of IP camera and enabling the design of fanless

edge devices. The small power envelope means camera designers can develop

lower-cost products by leaving out an active cooling component. Fanless cameras

are also better suited for industrial and outdoor applications where dirt or

dust can otherwise impact reliability.

“By creating vision processors that offer high performance and low power

consumption directly in cameras, Hailo has pushed the limits of AI processing

at the edge,” said KS Park, Head of R&D for Truen, specialists in edge AI and

video platforms. “Truen welcomes the Hailo-15 family of vision processors,

embraces their potential, and plans to incorporate the Hailo-15 in the future

generation of Truen smart cameras.”

“With Hailo-15, we’re offering a unique, complete and scalable suite of edge AI

solutions,” Danon concluded. “With a single software stack for all our product

families, camera designers, application developers, and integrators can now

benefit from an easy and cost-effective deployment supporting more AI, more

video analytics, higher accuracy, and faster inference time, exactly where

they’re needed.”
