DFG-aided AI Surveillance Camera

Microsystems, Inc.
  • 2023 Best of Innovation in Smart Cities
Drop Free Glass (DFG) is the world’s first electronic self-cleaning technology for optical sensors. DFG can promptly remove various contaminants on the surface of the sensors using an advanced microfluidic technology based on electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) principle. The EWOD-driven DFG has outstanding advantages including fast operation speed (< 1s), low power consumption (< 1mW), and high durability (>1,000,000cycles). For the first time, the DFG is applied to AI surveillance cameras for daily life safety and future industries such as smart cities and factories; therefore, DFG-aided outdoor AI surveillance camera can always guarantee clear camera images even during rainfall.
