High-efficiency, AI-based super resolution IP

Overview

The AI-SR series IPs offer super resolution solutions for enhancing video quality and pixel resolution, primarily used for post-processing or display applications. Currently consisting of AISR1000 and AISR2000 IPs, this series enables generation or transfer of low-resolution sources for bandwidth reduction and performance improvement, while ensuring high-quality, high-resolution displays at the edge.

In addition to high performance, low power consumption, and small silicon footprint, AI-SR series delivers robust pixel processing features, including detail recovery, crispy edges, and thinning lines with jaggy-free results, resembling the orginal high-resolution image. With these features, AI-SR series is well suited for a wide range of applications, including consumer electronics, gaming, data centers, surveillance, and healthcare.

The AI-SR series operates in streaming mode, making it easy to integrate into pixel processing pipelines. It come with a lightweight, easy-to-use software stack, and is compatible with Android, RTOS, and any distribution of Linux systems.
