AI camera Computer Vision; Computational Infrastructure
Definition: A camera system with embedded or edge-based artificial intelligence capabilities that can perform visual-analysis tasks such as object detection, recognition, tracking, classification, or scene interpretation locally or near the point of capture. In recent technical and applied literature, this concept is often expressed through the closely related term smart camera, especially when the device integrates sensing, onboard processing, and real-time vision analytics.
Example in context: “AI Camera System for Real-Time Load Concentration Estimation.” [Jing et al. 2024]
