ADLINK Technology Inc., a global leader in edge computing, launched its NVIDIA Jetson Nano based vision developer kit—AI Camera Dev Kit. ADLINK is applying its 25-year machine vision design experience in an effort to meet the needs of AI vision developers for rapid concept validation and viability testing and has launched a pocket-sized developer kit with image sensor, lens, vertical I/O, varied peripherals, and exclusive ADLINK edge vision analytics software—EVA. The AI Camera Dev Kit delivers low cost, simple integration, fast development, and easy access to open resources and high extensibility to accelerate AI vision prototyping while seamlessly enabling users to convert the kit to ADLINK edge AI vision devices. 

ADLINK’s AI Camera Dev Kit includes an 8MP color MIPI camera module; NVIDIA® Jetson Nano™ SOC; LAN; industrial DI/O interface; USB Type-C hub for easy powering, display, keyboard/mouse connection and data transmission; SD memory card with Linux OS; NVIDIA JetPack SDK; OpenCV and ADLINK’s exclusive EVA software—everything you need to start AI Vision prototyping. 

To help streamline software development, the kit includes two pre-installed ready-to-use AI vision applications, Pose Detection and Object Classification, with open-source training, a labeling tool and SOP that are easy to learn and modify. These two applications can be applied to scenarios like Robot Hazard Prevention and Fab Clear SOP or similar applications such as virtual fences or other SOP compliance. ADLINK EVA is our exclusive no-code/low-code GUI-based edge vision analytics software. The intuitive GUI pipeline development environment provides fast and flexible image capturing and AI inference to logical judgement configuration. Following the EVA SOP, users can train their own AI model and migrate it to the AI Camera Dev Kit. The ADLINK EVA Portal also provides tutorials, application templates and resources for effortless PoC development. 

“Today’s market trend is to start project development from a developer kit that can quickly help developers test and demonstrate their concept. Targeted for the booming AI vision market, ADLINK provides an image sensor integrated AI camera developer kit based on our popular NEON series AI smart camera. The AI Camera Dev Kit eliminates tedious integration effort with its built-in no-code GUI software (EVA) and two AI applications with sample code. This kit enables users to start their AI vision PoC in just five minutes,” said Kevin Hsu, ADLINK´s senior product manager for edge vision products. “Based on the V4L2 interface, users can easily access all NVIDIA Tao and NGC catalog resources that they are familiar with. The AI Camera Dev Kit leverages the experience and advantage of our most popular product, the affordable NEON series AI Smart Camera, which is ideal for development of a wide range of edge vision and AI applications.”

The ADLINK AI Camera Dev Kit can accelerate AI vision prototyping and seamlessly enable users to convert the kit to ADLINK edge AI vision devices. The AI Camera Dev Kit is available now. Follow the links for further information about ADLINK’s AI Camera Dev Kit and EVA software.
