Future Outlook: From Prototype to Productization of Distributed AI
charlychan
The Road to a ProductMoving from a prototype on a development board to a product involves several key challenges: Power Optimization: A prototype may draw several watts; a product needs optimized power consumption, especially if battery-powered. (This is where the Comake Pi D2's 300mW capability is attractive.) Bill of Materials (BOM) Cost: Integrating the core SoC, memory, and power management onto a custom PCB reduces size and cost. Reliability & Resilience: Over-the-air (OTA) updates, network reconnection logic, and message delivery guarantees are critical for a robust system. Our True Value: The Application LogicOur core competitive advantage lies not in the...
The Vision of End-to-End AI – The Concept of "Task Handover" Between Devices
charlychan
IntroductionThe traditional AI paradigm relies heavily on the cloud. However, latency, bandwidth costs, and privacy concerns are driving a fundamental shift: from a "centralized cloud brain" to "distributed edge intelligence." Our Vision: Relay Inference Between DevicesImagine two AI devices, both capable of local inference, vision, actuation, and control. Device A (e.g., an AI camera) detects and analyzes a target. Instead of streaming video, it generates a structured "Task" – containing action suggestions, coordinates, and confidence scores – and passes it to Device B (e.g., a robotic arm). Device B then takes over and executes the next steps without needing to...
The difference between 850nm infrared and 940nm infrared.

850NM wavelength infrared lamp can be seen with the eye. And when the 940NM lamp cannot see when it is lighting up. Only with the help of cameras, mobile phone camera or other tools can you see the light of the 940nm infrared.The lamp efficiency of 850NM is higher than that of 940NM, and the night vision effect of 850NM infrared is better than that 940NM. 850NM infrared lamps generate less heat than 940NM, so most of our infrared lamps are 850NM.
soft light-sensitive camera and hardware light-sensitive camera

When the hardware photoresistor senses that the light becomes weaker, the resistance value of the resistor becomes smaller and the current passes through, thus realizing the infrared function of turning on when the light becomes weaker. There will be a problem here. When the sky is not completely dark at night, the infrared light is half turned on, which will cause the IR-CUT to be switched, but the infrared light is half turned on, and the result is that the color of the image in the evening is not correct. So there is a photoresistor simulated by software. When the processor...
IR-CUT(Dual Filter Switcher)How the two filters work in the camera?
charlychan
Light is composed of various wavelengths. The wavelength range of light that human eyes can see is between 320nm and 760nm, but CMOS sensor chips can see light of most wavelengths. If CMOS processes all the light signals, the processed image will appear color cast to the human eye, for example, black is grayish, green is purple, etc. In order to correct this problem, it is necessary to wear "glasses" (650nm filter) on the CMOS sensor to filter out the infrared light invisible to the human eye, so the image seen by the human eye and CMOS is the same....
