Luxonis Product Updates August 2024

In this update we are going to share the latest and greatest news across our hardware and software offering.

Let’s jump right in!

OAK Series 4

The first update is with our Series 4 of hardware. We are incredibly excited about this new generation that will include:

  • Octa-core ARM CPU running Linux (Kernel 5.15)
  • AI: 48 INT8, 12 FP16 TOPS
  • Computer vision: Stereo depth, frame warp engine, optical flow, feature detection, description matching, template matching
  • ISP: 5 camera streams, HDR, EIS, 3A, up to 3x 8K @ 30FPS
  • Encoding: 4K @ 240FPS decoding, 4K @ 120FPS encoding for H264 and H265. Decoding also supported for VP9, AV1

We are developing four new standard devices for Series 4 - Depth, Single Camera, Short Range, and Long Range - and with variations we will be introducing 24 new SKUs all together. You can learn more about all of the Series 4 devices here. Our primary focus has been on developing depth-sensing and single-camera devices. We’ve successfully completed the production of our first batch, exceeding 100 units, and are now shipping early Private Access units to select customers.

If you are interested in getting your hands on one of the first Series 4 OAKs via Private Access please sign up here.

Now that we’ve completed production of our initial Series 4 units, we have been preparing for larger scale mass production. We have completed procurement for all of the necessary components and plan to kick off mass production by October. Once we go into mass production we will open up Series 4 for sale to all customers and plan to begin shipping orders to customers by December.

If you want to schedule a call with us to learn more about Series 4, please book a time that works best for you here.

Cyber Security Compliance

We have learned from our customers that keeping data secure is a critical element for trusting and scaling deployments with Luxonis. Based on this feedback, Luxonis has started the process with Vanta to obtain our compliance certification with the System and Organization Controls (SOC) framework. Specifically, Luxonis is pursuing a SOC2 Type 2 and will have it completed by early 2025.

The process to obtain our SOC2 Type 2 involves a third party audit that evaluates our internal controls over a period of time. The audit will check the security, availability, and confidentiality of Luxonis systems including controls, policies, and external dependencies with vendors such as cloud providers.

Luxonis looks forward to completing our audit and will share the results with you once they are completed.

Luxonis Hub Applications

Luxonis Hub is our cloud and application layer that allows customers to remotely manage fleets of OAKs helping you to develop, deploy, and monitor your perception applications. Applications in Hub are publicly available and they are open source so that you can make your own proprietary modifications to them. Luxonis is excited to share details with you on new applications that we plan to launch over the coming months.

Here is a list of all of the applications that we are looking at developing:

  1. Counter (car, people, bicycle) over a line
  2. Crowd counting
  3. Checking for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as hard hats, safety vests, and safety glasses
  4. Box measurement for determining the x, y, and z dimensions of cardboard boxes
  5. QR and Barcode scanner
  6. Fire and smoke detection
  7. VIO / SLAM
  8. Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
  9. Object Detection
  10. Machine Guarding
  11. Multi-person body pose estimation
  12. Multi-camera multi-person tracking with reidentification
  13. Gaze estimation for digital ads
  14. People analytics such as age, gender, and emotion
  15. Multi-camera point cloud fusion

Please reach out to us if you want to learn more about any of these applications.

OAK Thermal

The OAK-T is our first device with a thermal sensor and a color image sensor. Using a Tiny1-C with 256x192 resolution, the OAK-T works well in a variety of applications in the agricultural, industrial, transportation, and security sectors. We are currently producing our next batch of 250pcs of the OAK-T and those units will be available to ship by October.

The update that we want to share on the OAK-T is that due to export controls Luxonis is unable to offer this product for sale in all the countries where we normally do business. Over the last 4+ years of shipping hardware we have delivered units to more than 110 countries. However, sometimes there are restrictions that prevent us from selling into certain places. With the OAK-T we are limited to countries that are NATO plus which consists of all NATO countries along with Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Israel, and South Korea.

Time of Flight (ToF)

We are pleased to share that we have shipped out mass produced units of our OAK-D SR POE. This device is specifically designed for short range applications and includes a ToF sensor. We are now in stock with this product and look forward to hearing any feedback that you may have on the product.

That’s it, thanks for reading our updates!

Great Announcement! What is the pricing for products similar to rvc2 devices? How much percentage increase is expected?

Good question, you can expect RVC4 units to be priced at approximately +$200 versus RVC2.

2 months later

The new RVC4 cameras certainly look powerful, but am I the only one left wanting for something more lightweight and economical? Yes, the S2 cameras are still available, but Intel removing Movidius support in OpenVINO has limited their ability to run newer AI models. I love the OAK line and want to continue using it in future projects, but these new prices are sure going to sting.
