Ambarella

Ambarella specializes in creating low-power, high-resolution video compression, image processing, and deep neural network processors and software, which are integral to a wide range of human and computer vision applications. These include video security, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), electronic mirrors, drive recorders, driver/cabin monitoring, autonomous driving, and other robotics applications. Ambarella’s Cooper Developer Platform offers a comprehensive hardware and software solution for edge AI systems, featuring industrial-grade hardware and a multi-layer software stack, including Cooper Core, Cooper Foundation, Cooper Vision, and Cooper UX. The company’s CVflow chip architecture is designed with a deep understanding of core computer vision algorithms and includes a dedicated vision processing engine that efficiently maps CNN networks trained with tools like Caffe, TensorFlow, and PyTorch onto Ambarella processors. Ambarella’s stereovision technology enhances navigation safety and effectiveness by transforming 2D environments into 3D spaces, making it valuable for warehouse robots and autonomous vehicles. Their processors are optimized for embedded platforms on the edge, offering superior power efficiency compared to competitors. Ambarella’s compression technologies significantly reduce data transmission sizes, cutting storage costs and bandwidth usage. Their image processing pipeline includes HDR, EIS, and dewarping to ensure high-quality video frames. The company’s functional safety-certified products comply with ISO 26262, ensuring safety in ADAS and autonomous driving applications. Ambarella’s vision processors can classify objects, interpret gestures, recognize faces, track people, and identify obstacles. Their hardware platforms support all levels of automation, from partial to full autonomy. The CV75S family of SoCs integrates advanced AI-based image processing technology, offering 4KP30+ image processing, video encoding/decoding, and CVflow computer vision processing in a low-power design. The CV75S family features the latest CVflow 3.0 AI engine, providing triple the performance of the previous generation and supporting vision-language models and vision transformers. These SoCs are designed for security cameras, industrial robotics, access control, and AI-enabled consumer video devices, offering real-time visual analytics and natural-language search capabilities. They integrate dual Arm Cortex-A76 1.6GHz cores and USB 3.2 connectivity, fabricated using advanced 5 nm process technology for an optimal balance of low power and high performance. The CV75S family is currently sampling and will be demonstrated at ISC West in Las Vegas. Ambarella has a strategic partnership with Neusoft Reach to advance autonomous driving and intelligent automotive technology. Neusoft Reach’s third-generation forward-facing intelligent camera, X-Cube 3.0, is powered by Ambarella’s CV22 AI vision SoC. Their collaboration focuses on developing high-performance AI domain control solutions, including driver monitoring systems (DMS) and front ADAS modules. The CV22 AI vision SoC has been mass-produced and deployed by automotive OEMs, enabling safe and efficient product technologies in passenger vehicles.
