EyeVision releases software to support MIPI camera technology
Image processing hardware based on MIPI camera technology is supported by EyeVision (EVT) software. In addition to MIPI CSI-1 and CSI-2 grey and colour image processing cameras and computers, EVT produces image processing hardware with QuadCore and OctaCore Arm processors, based on the MIPI CSI-1 and MIPI CSI-2 interfaces.
The EVT camera modules are based on the Sony IMX sensors. Different camera modules are supported with CSI-1 or CSI-2.
The credit card-sized boards create compact systems with an onboard display using the MIPI CSI-1 and CSI-2 interface, an HDMI monitor connection, USB3 and GigE interfaces.
The modules have been produced since 2012 in the same shape, guaranteeing long term availability, says EVT. The company has adapted computing power, the memory capacity and the interfaces to the latest developments, for today’s and future platforms up to 1.6GHz.
When used with EyeVision software, powerful and compact systems can be built and integrated into almost any housing, adds the company. The systems are delivered with the latest Linux OS.
Different MIPI sensors for grey and colour image acquisition are available. The frame rate starts at nine frames per second and with full CSI-2 with four lanes, up to 1,000 frames per second with the Sony IMX219 sensor.
The modules can be integrated into existing systems and work with digital I/O or with Profinet or Modbus for the SPS connection.
