Arm unveils new image signal processors to meet higher image quality requirements

A sharper digital eye for intelligent devices with the latest Arm ISP technology

January 3, 2018

News Highlights:

• New Arm Mali-C52 and Mali-C32 image signal processors (ISPs) provide industry-leading image quality, a complete software package, and full set of calibration and tuning tools
• Higher image quality for everyday devices including drones, smart home assistants and security, and internet protocol (IP) cameras
• New applications can now take advantage of the unique capabilities of Arm Iridix technology, proven in more than 2 billion devices today

Of all our five senses, sight is the most evolved and richest sense, and for decades the digital world has strived to exceed our own visual processing capabilities which are enabled by 2 million-plus nerve fibers from the retinas into the brain. Creating “digital eyes” for processing real-time higher-quality images to give viewers the truest sense of an environment is among the many challenges faced by the Arm ecosystem, and according to our estimates demand for IoT devices with embedded vision capabilities is growing rapidly.

In response to the demand for real-time higher image quality in those devices, today Arm is announcing a new generation of image signal processors (ISPs), the Arm Mali-C52 and Mali-C32 ISPs. You can read more about what makes these two ISPs stand out from the rest in this blog from Thomas Ensergueix, senior director of embedded, Embedded & Automotive Line of Business, Arm.
