The devices require single and multi-camera interfacing capabilities. With real-time smooth streaming capabilities, the systems enable applications as driver assistance systems and assistive systems for doctors and machine operators. These systems also require recording capabilities for high-resolution images in various standard media formats.

Rise in AI capabilities on the edge platforms are enabling a new range of applications. Smart-city applications, monitoring and surveillance, robotics, and life sciences technologies are employing the deep learning and image processing capabilities to achieve solutions to real-time problems. A critical requirement to these systems is a reliable imaging system producing high-quality images in various lighting environments for vision and accuracy.

Why NVIDIA® Jetson Xavier™ NX?

The Jetson Xavier NX from NVIDIA brings the accelerated computing capabilities on the edge in a compact form factor. Providing 21 top computations, the Xavier NX achieves the performance of the powerful Jetson AGX Xavier in the size of the Nano module.

Comparable to AGX Xavier, the Xavier NX supports a dedicated CSI interface to connect up to 6 cameras enabling multi-camera solutions. The module also has multi-stream video encoding capabilities enabling recording applications.

The Xavier NX is designed to process and run neural networks on multiple camera sensor data in parallel enabling complete AI systems. NVIDA’s extensive AI SDK eco-system is available for the platform of rapid development. In effect, the Xavier NX platform provides equivalent performance of AGX Xavier at a lower cost and smaller size enabling compact and cost-effective edge AI solutions.
