The slave configuration in SEIM enables control of the frame rate via the host application processor, down to rates of a single frame per second or even slower. Synchronization of two or more cameras “ a useful capability in applications such as eye tracking or stereo vision “ can easily be performed by providing a centralized clock from the application processor.
ams will offer a reference implementation of image acquisition and processing functions on a standard Arm core-based processor to reduce the customers development effort and accelerate time to market.
Designers who wish to add high-resolution video capability in space-constrained enclosures have until now been hampered by the size of the industrial image sensors on the market. The introduction of the NanEyeM module opens up new possibilities to add camera capability in the smallest spaces, said Tom Walschap, Marketing Director in the CMOS Image Sensor business line at ams. ˜Provided in an easy-to-use module format with a convenient digital output, designers can quickly add camera capability with little development effort.
