PixArt Imaging has announced the release of its newest product, the PAC9001 Smart Pixel Optical Sensing Device, designed to improve object presence detection across multiple industries. This sensor is engineered to deliver efficient performance while maintaining a compact size and ensuring privacy. It is particularly suitable for integration into smart home devices to detect objects and presence, offering low energy consumption and minimal latency, making it ideal for low-power IoT devices.

The PAC9001 is equipped with advanced AI-powered pixel processing capabilities, enabling it to analyze visual data directly at the pixel level. This innovation reduces the need for data transmission and lowers power consumption. Its smart processing functionality allows the sensor to support rapid and accurate applications in sectors such as retail, logistics, manufacturing, smart home technology, and PC peripherals. With its high sensitivity, the PAC9001 can operate effectively even when hidden, providing important insights without capturing identifiable images, enhancing privacy in applications such as crowd control and security.

PixArt Imaging has leveraged its expertise in imaging and sensor technology to ensure the PAC9001 achieves low latency and energy efficiency. The sensor’s compact module form, measuring 3.79 x 3.63 x 1.67 mm³, facilitates easy integration into various devices. Its capability to detect and respond swiftly to object motion is particularly valuable for edge devices that require timely and precise sensing in real-world applications.

The sensor also incorporates PixArt’s proprietary Smart Motion Detection and Pixel Difference Mode technologies. These features allow the PAC9001 to adapt to environmental changes and deliver high-precision data in different lighting conditions, ranging from bright daylight to darkness, at distances up to five meters. This ensures minimal false alarms compared to traditional PIR systems, making the PAC9001 a versatile and scalable solution across a broad spectrum of industries and applications.
