Korean AI specialist Nota AI has implemented smart traffic solutions by combining its lightweight AI optimisation technology with Sony’s AI smart image sensor IMX500. The device-based solutions included pedestrian safety management and traffic volume analysis.

Sony’s IMX500 is an advanced smart image sensor that integrates an image sensor and a logic chip, enabling data processing directly on the sensor.

As part of an AI Voucher Global Division project supported by Korea’s National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA), Nota AI applied its AI optimisation technology to this sensor.

By delivering high-performance AI without accuracy loss on the compact IMX500 chipset, Nota AI maximised the sensor’s low-power and cost-effective capabilities. This innovation demonstrates the sensor’s critical value in smart city environments, where energy efficiency and cost savings are key priorities.

As part of the AI Voucher Project, Nota AI successfully validated its smart traffic solution using Sony’s IMX500-powered AI cameras. Nota AI’s solution achieved 100% accuracy, demonstrating performance and cost efficiency.

This achievement was featured in Edge AI Foundation webinar, “EDGE AI Experts Reveal Pedestrian Tragedy Prevention Secrets,” where Nota AI was recognised as a best-case study for power efficiency and cost reduction.

Nota AI CEO Myungsu Chae said, “Our AI technology has the potential to drive innovations in energy efficiency and cost savings across diverse industries, including smart cities. We are committed to delivering sustainable solutions that make a tangible impact.”
