Integrate Three Devices into a Quarter-Size Camera



FLIR Systems has announced the FLIR Firefly camera family, which incorporates the Intel Movidius Myriad 2 Vision Processing Unit (VPU) for artificial intelligence at the edge. The Firefly combines a new machine vision platform with the power of deep learning to address complex and subjective problems, such as classifying the quality of a solar panel.

FLIR engineers accelerated the Firefly's development cycle using the Intel Movidius Neutral Compute Stick (NCS) for prototype development. For large-scale commercial production, they ported that development work to the Intel Movidius Myriad 2 VPU. By prototyping on the Intel Movidius NCS and the Neutral Compute SDK, FLIR streamlined the development of machine learning in the camera. The production version of the Firefly uses the tiny, stand-alone Intel Movidius Myriad 2 to perform two roles at the edge: image signal processing and open platform inference.

The Firefly has a 27 mm x 27 mm footprint.
