How does Rockchip RK3399Pro's NPU perform in real-world applications?

Rockchip RK3399Pro's NPU performs well in real-world applications, as described below:

Intelligent surveillance field:

• Real-time target detection and analysis: With its powerful computing performance, it can quickly and accurately detect and identify targets in the surveillance video, such as in crowded places, it can real-time monitor the number of people, behavioral actions, and whether there is any abnormal behavior, etc. Even in the complex background environment and multi-target scenarios, it can also effectively avoid misdetections and omissions, which greatly improves the surveillance efficiency and accuracy.
• Event Warning and Response: When detecting preset specific events, such as illegal invasion, items left behind, etc., it can quickly send out warning signals to notify the relevant personnel in time to deal with the situation, which effectively enhances the security of the monitoring system and the emergency response capability. For example, in security monitoring, potential security threats can be detected and warned in time, providing timely and accurate information for security personnel to take appropriate measures.

Smart home field:

• Speech Recognition and Interaction: It can efficiently process voice signals and realize functions such as voice wake-up, voice command recognition, etc., so that smart home devices can quickly respond to the owner's voice commands, such as controlling the switch of home appliances, adjusting the temperature, and querying for information, etc., to provide users with a more convenient smart life experience. For example, users can easily control smart speakers to play music, check the weather, or control the opening and closing of smart curtains through voice commands.
• Image Recognition and Scene Understanding: Recognizes and analyzes images in the home environment, and understands different scenes and objects to achieve more intelligent control. For example, automatically adjusting the brightness of lights according to whether there are people in the room, recommending corresponding recipes according to recognized objects, etc., so that smart home devices can be closer to the user's life needs.

Industrial automation field:

• Equipment Failure Prediction and Diagnosis: Through real-time monitoring and analysis of industrial equipment operation data, the powerful computing power of NPU is used to carry out deep digging, discover potential failure hazards in advance, realize predictive maintenance, reduce equipment downtime, lower maintenance costs, and improve productivity. For example, in the production line, real-time monitoring of the operating status of the equipment, early warning of possible failures, in order to carry out timely maintenance to avoid production delays caused by equipment failure.
• Visual inspection and quality control: In the quality inspection of industrial production, it can quickly and accurately inspect the appearance of the product, size measurement, defect identification, etc., which greatly improves the inspection efficiency and accuracy and ensures the stability of product quality. For example, in the production of electronic components, it can quickly detect whether the solder joints of the components are qualified, whether there are defects in the appearance of the components, etc., which effectively improves the yield rate of the products.
