Last month, Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) purchased computer vision start-up Movidius in a bid to beef up its RealSense depth-sensing cameras with AI capabilities. In late October, Movidius inked a major deal with Hikvision, the world’s biggest surveillance company, to install its low-power Myriad 2 VPUs (visual processing units) into its security cameras.
