Long-Range Object Detection with InfinitEye AI Platform using Sony FCB-EV9520L and NVIDIA ORIN NX

InfinitEye AI Platform – An Introduction

At OPPILA, innovation meets performance with our InfinitEye AI Platform—a cutting-edge vision system designed for long-range object detection. By integrating the Sony FCB-EV9520L full HD camera block (featuring 30x optical zoom) and the powerful NVIDIA ORIN NX module, InfinitEye delivers real-time, high-resolution AI vision capable of detecting objects at distances up to 2 kilometers, without any external optics.

With the addition of a 2X teleconverter lens, this detection range can be extended to 4-5 kilometers, opening new possibilities in long-range surveillance and monitoring.

System Components

To build this robust long-range detection system, we combined high-performance hardware with advanced AI software frameworks:

Hardware Stack:

• Sony FCB-EV9520L

            - Full HD 1920x1080 resolution @60FPS
            - 30x Optical zoom with autofocus and image stabilization

• NVIDIA ORIN NX Module with Carrier Board

            - 100 TOPS AI Performance
            - Ampere GPU with 1024 CUDA cores & 32 Tensor Cores
            - 8-core Arm Cortex A78AE

• LVDS to MIPI Camera Driver

            - V4L2 - based interface for optimized camera integration

AI Software Stack:

• YOLOv8 for ultra-fast object detection
• TensorFlow, PyTorch for model training and tuning
• Jetson-Inference, DeepStream, TensorRT for accelerated inference
• DeepSORT for multi-object tracking
• Jetpack 5.1.2 for streamlined deployment on Jetson modules

Achievements: High-Performance Detection at 2–4 Kilometres

Using only the Sony FCB-EV9520L’s 30x zoom, InfinitEye successfully detects objects up to 2 km away, without requiring any external lenses. If an additional 2X teleconverter lens, this range can be further extended to up to 4 km detection range.

This impressive long-distance visibility was made possible by:

• Advanced camera control for precise long-distance focusing
• Efficient image streaming at 60 FPS
• Low-latency processing (Less than 30 ms) on the ORIN NX platform
• High-accuracy object detection, even at extended ranges

Our AI pipeline maintains sharp recognition, enabling applications such as border surveillance, critical infrastructure monitoring, and traffic enforcement—even from kilometers away.

Performance Benchmarks

With additional optics, the system is scalable up to 10 km, depending on lens configuration.

Image Highlights:

• Bird detected at 500 meters distance.

• Bus, people inside bus, and other objects detected at 750 meters.

• Aircraft in motion detected at 1.5 kilometre.

• Human detected from a distance of 2 kilometres.

These Results were correlated with the location coordinates via Google Map, in order to confirm the detection distances

Summary

At OPPILA, we're pushing the boundaries of AI-powered vision at the edge. Edge AI Platform InfinitEye, powered by Sony’s proven camera blocks and NVIDIA’s ORIN NX with our software Stacks— is already redefining what's possible in remote monitoring and intelligent surveillance.

With a vision that scales beyond kilometres, we're not just detecting objects — we're expanding the limits of machine perception.

For building the next generation of AI-powered surveillance or monitoring systems, InfinitEye gives provides the reach, accuracy, and performance to lead in your domain.
