technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of image processing, in particular to a proximity sensor visual perception processing chip and an Internet of Things sensing device. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the current Intelligent Internet of Things (abbreviation: AIoT) has been widely used in our production and life. However, AIoT devices not only perceive image data at the terminal node, especially in the image acquisition and processing stage, but also need to analyze the acquired image data. However, due to the limitation of battery resources, especially when dealing with computationally intensive tasks applying artificial intelligence algorithms, various AIoT devices often cannot strike a balance between processing quality, real-time performance, power or energy constraints. [0003] In order to solve the above existing problems and improve the processing efficiency of AIoT devices in the fi...
