Modern FPGAs provide small, low-cost engines that are geared for sensor processing applications. ISI's near sensor computing modules move the processor closer to the sensor, decreasing size, cost, latencies, bandwidth requirements and power consumption across the entire system. These modules are configured to order with processor, memory and I/O resources tailored to each customer's specific requirements.

Current near sensor computing systems in production are the NSC-625 and the NSC-2200. The NSC-625 is a 25mm form factor, while the NSC-2200 holds a 40 x 60mm footprint. Both use a miniaturized processor, memory and I/O modules delivered pre-configured to the specific requirements of the customer's near sensor computing application. These FPGA systems perform real-time image enhancement, sensor fusion and object/event recognition for any analog or digital sensor including 4 x HD IR and visible-spectrum video. Output options include 1/10 GigE and GigE Vision, LVDS, Camera Link, Aurora, RS-232, programmable pins and custom formats.
