1. DS072 Ultra-Light AI Video Tracking Board Overview
The DS072 Ultra-Light AI Video Tracking Board is an embedded intelligent video processing module designed for real-time target detection, recognition, locking, and tracking. Built with a domestic AI chip and proprietary intelligent image algorithms, it works with high-frame-rate global shutter cameras to detect targets such as people, vehicles, boats, aircraft, and drones. The board supports visible-light and infrared single-channel or dual-channel input, manual and automatic target locking, miss-distance output relative to the image center, RTSP video streaming, OSD overlay, electronic zoom, photo and video recording, and compact single-board integration for UAV payloads, intelligent gimbal systems, and embedded AI vision applications.
