One reason is chip scaling, with key components from semiconductor makers allowing equipment manufacturers to fabricate quarter-size cameras that are becoming ubiquitous in agricultural, automotive and industrial markets.

Now, inspection camera manufacturers are adding smarts in the form of image processing that according to one vendor brings “AI to the edge” in the form of a machine vision camera with deep learning inference capabilities.

The marketing pitch for this approach centers on the proposition that placing deep neural network acceleration directly on a camera allows inference to be performed at the network edge, eliminating the need to transmit a raw video stream elsewhere for processing.
