Expedera, a tech firm specializing in neural engine semiconductor IP, has announced the launch of its Origin E1 LittleNPU line of scalable AI processors for always-sensing camera applications, according to a press release.

The solution is designed with power optimization and privacy in mind for always-on camera applications such as those in smart phones, security cameras and home appliances.

"Device makers are constantly looking to add features that differentiate their products from the competition," said Paul Karazuba, vice president of marketing at Expedera. "Always-sensing cameras are an example of this. They allow users to interact with their devices more naturally, enhancing the user experience and increasing owner satisfaction. The LittleNPU makes adding this easier for device makers because it provides the most power-efficient, security-aware method of adding AI processing to an always-sensing camera subsystem."
