Real-time video enhancement reaches new standard with Inuitive and Visionary.ai partnership
Visionary.ai has developed a software-based image signal processor (ISP) which leverages AI to help cameras achieve market-leading image quality and detection accuracy. Today, standard ISPs discard a critical portion of sensor data. Visionary.ai’s ISP leverages all the raw sensor data and cutting-edge AI, presenting a challenge of high compute power.
Excited to start showcasing our joint demo to prospective customers later this month, we plan to demonstrate Inuitive’s market-leading AI processor with Visionary.ai’s software-based ISP inside.
Commenting on the partnership, Visionary.ai co-founder and CEO Oren Debbi said, “Running on the Inuitive processor means we can offer stellar image quality to so many more camera and electronics manufacturers without them paying the price of high compute power. With this new advantage, and having a partner like Inuitive on board, will help us unlock a huge market opportunity. In the coming years, we expect to see the package of our two game-changing technologies being adopted globally”.
“During our inception phase, we were running on a server, and then as we reduced our compute power, moved to the Nvidia AGX. With Inuitive, we’re now able to run in real-time with a high frame rate on a low-cost edge processor”, added Visionary.ai co-founder and CTO Yoav Taieb.
Shlomo Gadot, founder and CEO at Inuitive commented: “Partnering with Visionary.ai offers our customers the most advanced vision and AI solutions. Leveraging the industry leading Edge AI processor series from Inuitive and Visionary.ai’s sophisticated AI-based ISP will enable vision systems to operate at a very wide dynamic range of use cases, with the highest levels of performance while keeping system’s simplicity.”

Inuitive and Visidon introduce a new, industry-changing low light enhancement technology for robotic applications and more Copy
Ra’anana, Israel, January 04, 2023 — Inuitive, a leading vision-on-chip processor company, and Visidon, an AI-based image and video enhancement software provider, announced today the release of a high performing, accurate, and real-time low light enhancement solution the two companies co-developed. The joint solution, now available for deployment, addresses the main issues in traditional noise reduction algorithms for a wide variety of edge devices, such as robotics, consumer electronic devices with cameras, and surveillance systems.
The game-changing solution combines Inuitive’s all-in-one NU4100 vision-on-chip processor which incorporates AI-powered image processing and depth sensing, with Visidon’s advanced low light enhancement technology, resulting in a significant leap in vision technology.
For robots to perform well in low light conditions, their vision processor must enhance and process low-light video quickly – a capability possible only on the Edge. Enhancement includes denoising mixed noise in the image due to low light, severe weather or environmental conditions. Visidon’s enhancement solution uses neural networks to effectively extract signals from the noise. Inuitive’s NU4100 vision-on-chip processor hosts the Visidon solution, allowing robots to utilize it for processing.
The new co-solution allows high-performance robotic applications and enhances consumer communication and surveillance quality in real time, even in the most challenging low light environments. It is a high efficiency, low power solution with impeccable accuracy applicable to critical use cases such as robot use at night and drone flights in the dark, which had only been available in the past via advanced and highly costly sensors.
Shlomo Gadot, CEO at Inuitive, commented: “We are very pleased to have partnered with Visidon, who are a great addition to our ecosystem of software partners. Through our co-developed solution with them, we now offer stellar image quality even in the most challenging light conditions, not only unlocking a huge market potential but also democratizing access to such technology.”
Markus Turtinen, Co-founder and CEO at Visidon, commented: “We are extremely pleased to be working together with Inuitive. Our partnership further expands our reach in the robotic applications market and beyond. We look forward to deepening this partnership.”
Both companies will attend CES 2023 on January 5–8 in Las Vegas. Interested parties can meet with Company representatives at Westgate Hotel, Inuitive Suite 630. To schedule a meeting, please click here.

Inuitive introduces groundbreaking new sensor modules to address challenges of AMR and AGV systems
Ra’anana, Dec 11, 2022. Inuitive, a Vision-on-Chip processor company, announced today the launch of its latest sensor modules: the M4.5S and the M4.3WN. Designed to easily integrate into robots and drones systems, both sensor modules are built around the NU4000 Vision-on-Chip (VoC) processor and integrates depth sensing and image processing with AI and VSLAM capabilities in order to provide robotic devices with human-like visual understanding.
The M4.5S provides robots with enhanced depth from stereo sensing along with AI-based obstacle detection and object recognition. It features the widest field of view in the industry at 88×58 degrees, shortest minimum-sensing-range of 9 cm, and wide dynamic operating temperature range of up to 50 degrees Celsius. The M4.5S is an easy to adopt, highly power efficient platform that is designed to function as a self-sufficient depth sensor module and shorten time to market for commercial robotic systems with industrial design fix and limitations.

The Company’s other newly launched sensor module, the M4.3WN, features accurate tracking and VSLAM navigation based on fisheye cameras and an IMU together with depth sensing and on-chip AI processing. This enables free navigation, localization, path planning, and static and dynamic obstacle avoidance – the main challenges for AMR and AGV systems. The M4.3WN is specially designed in a metal case to best serve in industrial environment conditions.
“Our new all-in-one sensor modules expand our portfolio targeting the growing market of autonomous mobile robots. Together with our category-leading Vision-on-Chip processor, we now enable robotic devices to look at the world with human-like visual understanding,” said Shlomo Gadot, CEO and Co-Founder of Inuitive. “Inuitive is fully committed to continuously developing the best performing products for our customers and becoming their supplier of choice.
The M4.5S and the M4.3WN sensor modules’ primary processing unit is the Inuitive all-in-one NU4000 processor. Both modules are equipped with depth and RGB sensors that are controlled and timed by the NU4000. Data generated by the sensors and processed in real-time at a high frame rate by the NU4000, is then used to generate depth information for the host device.
The Inuitive M4.5S and M4.3WN module sensors are available today. For more information and ordering, visit: M4.5S and M4.3WN
