1. An electronic device mounted on a fixed apparatus or a movable apparatus, the electronic device comprising:
an image signal processor (ISP) for at least one camera mounted on the apparatus;
a neural processing unit (NPU), including a first circuitry provided for a plurality of processing elements (PEs), configured to:
process an operation of an artificial neural network model trained to detect or track at least one object, based on an input feature map generated from at least one image, which is acquired via the ISP from the at least one camera, and
output an inference result; and
a signal generator configured to generate a signal applicable to control the at least one camera or the ISP,
wherein when the at least one object is detected or tracked with a confidence level lower than a corresponding threshold, the signal is generated to include a coordinate of the at least one object, and
wherein the coordinate is expressed by (a1, b1) and (a2, b2) with respect to two diagonal vertices of a rectangle which contains the at least one object.
