**IMX500 Key Features:**
- **Metadata Output:** Instead of transmitting full images, the IMX500 outputs only metadata, minimizing data size, reducing bandwidth, and lowering costs.
- **Metadata Output:** Instead of transmitting images only, the IMX500 can output both image and metadata (inference result), and can output metadata only for minimizing data size, reducing bandwidth, and lowering costs.
- **Addresses Privacy Concerns:** By processing data on the device, the IMX500 addresses privacy concerns, ideal for human-centric applications like person counting and occupancy tracking.
- **Real-time Processing:** Fast, on-sensor processing supports real-time decisions, perfect for edge AI applications such as autonomous systems.
