The EVK is fully functional, designed and manufactured in China, and optimized for local needs in China, providing a fully tested solution for computer vision engineers, which is a good helper for efficient technical introduction and rapid prototyping development. In addition, the suite is compatible with Prophesee's five-award-winning Metavision ®Intelligence software and is equipped with technical support, access to knowledge centers, application instructions, advanced documentation, and a fast-growing community forum of more than 10000 developer users worldwide.
Yang Xuefei, Vice President and General Manager of Prophesee Greater China, said, "this new EVK can help computer vision engineers, integrators and camera manufacturers fully and accurately understand the performance advantages of this innovative architecture and better apply it. EVK5 is tailored to the needs of the Chinese market and can help developers begin to evaluate the performance of event vision sensors, including in a variety of use cases and some market-specific machine vision systems. "
The stack event vision sensor IMX646 combines Sony's CMOS image sensor technology with Prophesee's unique Metavision ®event vision sensor technology, which can provide a delay output of less than 800 μ s at 1K lux, a dynamic range larger than 110dB, and can operate in low light conditions as low as 0.08 lux. The sensor achieves the smallest pixel size of * 14.86 μ m in the industry, with a 2.5-type of 1max, and about 920000 effective pixels. With industry-leading pixel spacing and a high resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, the IMX646 is ideal for a variety of visual use cases, including the Internet of things, surveillance cameras, consumer applications, and more.
The new EVK5 also comes with Prophesee Metavision ®Intelligence software. Metavision ®Intelligence software is currently the most comprehensive event vision software in the industry, providing 95 algorithms, 79 code examples and 24 tutorials, and is constantly expanded and refined by developers in the global open source community to promote efficient application development. Its technical breadth enables developers to quickly carry out various design explorations and effectively integrate customized software applications according to specific market needs.
