Hailo-15H AI Vision Processor for smart cameras
The Hailo-15H AI Vision Processor is a system-on-chip designed to bring imaging and AI analytics together inside a smart camera. Part number HNC2HAI11SM identifies the industrial Hailo-15H SoC, specified for an operating temperature range of −40°C to 85°C. Its neural network core provides 20 TOPS for running camera-based AI workloads on the device.
Unlike a standalone AI accelerator that depends on a separate host processor, Hailo-15H integrates an application processor, image signal processor (ISP), vision DSP and AI inference engine. This combination helps camera manufacturers build systems that capture, enhance, analyse and encode video within a single processor platform.
Image quality and video processing
The Hailo-15H vision pipeline supports 4K30 image quality, high dynamic range (HDR), multi-stage noise reduction and image stabilisation. Its image processing capabilities also include low-light enhancement, digital zoom, lens shading and distortion correction. The SoC supports H.265/HEVC and H.264/AVC video encoding for camera applications.
On-device AI analytics
With 20 TOPS of AI compute performance, Hailo-15H can support multiple deep learning models within a camera pipeline. Applications can include object detection, scene analysis, access-control analytics and industrial visual monitoring. The performance of a finished camera depends on its models, image sensor, memory, software and processing pipeline.
Camera integration and development
The processor provides camera-oriented interfaces, including dual MIPI CSI video input, MIPI DSI video output, Ethernet, PCIe and USB. It also supports common control and audio interfaces such as I²C, I²S and SPI. Its security features include secure boot, secure debug, hardware-accelerated cryptography and TrustZone.
Hailo’s Vision Processor Software Package provides drivers, libraries and image and video processing tools with a Yocto-based Linux distribution. It is intended for developers building custom smart camera hardware and AI vision applications.
