Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus for intelligent image sensing devices. In one example, a host interface of a sensing device receives sensor data from a host system. The sensing device stores the sensor data in response to a write command received from the host system. The sensing device also stores data from an image stream generated by an image sensor(s) included in the sensing device. An inference engine of the sensing device generates inference results using both the image stream and the sensor data as input. The sensing device stores the inference results in a non-volatile memory for access by the host system. In response to receiving a read command from the host system, the sensing device provides the inference results to the host system.
