Sony has unveiled a new image processor with built-in artificial intelligence, which the tech giant says could see the creation of AI-powered cameras in the future.

The Japanese tech firm has announced its new IMX500 and IMX501 image sensors, which it says are the first in the world to include AI.
The benefit of such technology, Sony says, is that processing complex data from images can now be done on-device rather than having to be sent to the cloud to for processing.

The company says that, as a result, cameras using the new sensors could – in real-time – be used to track movement and congestion of people in spaces such as shops, for example, as well as to track monitor and detect stock shortages on shelves and the movement of products around a store.

Microsoft and Sony announced a new partnership today that will see Azure AI smarts applied to Sony's smart camera sensor tech. The combination is intended to give video analytics for enterprise scenarios a boost.

"As a result of the partnership, the companies will embed Microsoft Azure AI capabilities on Sony's intelligent vision sensor IMX500, which extracts useful information out of images in smart cameras and other devices," Microsoft said in a press release.
The two companies envision the combination bringing simplification to computer vision scenarios. Those can include things like using a smart camera to detect when to refill products on a shelf in a store. Another scenario could include spotting a potential hazard in a factory before it results in injury.
