Lcdv-41118 【Premium - Version】

All milestones were met on schedule; the only deviation was a 2‑week delay in the AI model quantisation phase due to an unexpected latency spike in the NPU, which was resolved by firmware‑level DMA optimisation. | Site | Scenario | Metrics (Target → Achieved) | Observations | |------|----------|----------------------------|--------------| | Munich – Traffic | Pedestrian & vehicle counting, red‑light violation detection | Detection accuracy 92 % → 95 % Latency 150 ms → 78 ms Power 1.8 W → 1.3 W | Stable operation under rain, night‑vision mode (IR LEDs) performed flawlessly. | | Bavaria Vineyard | Early‑blight disease spotting on vines | True‑positive rate 85 % → 88 % False‑positive < 3 % → 2 % Battery life 7 days (solar) → 9 days | Model required fine‑tuning for canopy density; added a simple colour‑histogram pre‑filter. | | Automotive Plant | Conveyor‑belt object mis‑placement detection | Detection latency 120 ms → 92 ms Uptime 99.6 % → 99.9 % | Mesh network (Thread) handled node dropout gracefully; automatic rerouting kept latency low. |

| Feature | Goal | Timeline | |---------|------|----------| | | Integrated micro‑bolometer (80 × 60) for fire detection | H2 2026 | | Ultra‑Low‑Power Sleep Mode | < 0.5 mW standby, wake‑on‑motion | H1 2027 | | AI‑Model Marketplace | Plug‑and‑play models for niche use‑cases (parking, waste‑bin fill‑level) | H2 2027 | | Mass‑Production Scaling | 10 k units/yr in a dedicated fab line (EU) | 2028 | 10. Conclusion LCDV‑41118 has successfully delivered a production‑ready, low‑cost distributed vision platform

| Metric | Target | Achieved | |--------|--------|----------| | (Bill of Materials) | ≤ €45 per node | €38 (including enclosure) | | Power consumption (stand‑alone, solar‑charged) | ≤ 2 W avg. | 1.4 W | | Detection range (day/night) | 0–30 m, 30° FOV | 0–35 m, 45° FOV | | Network latency (edge‑to‑cloud) | ≤ 150 ms | ≈ 85 ms | | Reliability (MTBF) | ≥ 10 k h | ≈ 12 k h | | Production readiness | TRL 7 | TRL 8 (pilot production) |

Low‑Cost Distributed Vision (LCDV) System – Version 4.1.1 – Final Report 1. Executive Summary LCDV‑41118 is a three‑year research‑to‑deployment programme (Jan 2023 – Dec 2025) funded by the European Horizon 2020 Innovation Programme. The project’s goal was to design, prototype, and field‑test an affordable, scalable, and energy‑efficient distributed vision platform for use in smart‑city, precision‑agriculture, and industrial‑IoT applications.
