The two Imager Access System (IAS) camera modules that ship standard on this Mezzanine use the AR0144 monochrome digital image sensor from ON Semiconductor. The AR0144 is a 1-megapixel Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) sensor (1280 horizontal by 800 vertical resolution) and will run at 60 frames per second at full resolution. Its innovative global shutter pixel design is optimized for accurate and fast capture of moving scenes while producing clear, sharp digital images. The ability to capture clear images is critical for applications such as scanning, industrial inspection and drone navigation.
By using the 96Boards standard, this card can easily enable low-latency vision system prototyping by leveraging the many capabilities of the Xilinx Ultra96-V2 platform.
'This prototyping platform is specially created for design engineers, system engineers and suppliers to focus on IoT vision, AI and computer imaging applications,' said
The platform utilizes MIPI and the camera serial interface (CSI2) standardizations which are specifications of the
The API 1302 image co-processor from ON Semiconductor performs image processing functions within the platform, including turning, configuration and calibration of the sensors. These processing functions also help to reduce design efforts of developing an embedded camera system. The AP1302 interfaces the sensors and the host processor using MIPI-CSI2 lanes.
The IAS image sensor module interface from ON Semiconductor helps solve this problem and enables:
1) Simplified camera system design: A single, standardized interface helps to quickly connect the imaging module to the processing board, such as the 96Boards Mezzanine.
2) Shorter lifecycle: Solution decreases time to market by enabling low-touch design.
3) Lowered learning curve: Prior imaging system expertise is not required since IAS is a plug-and-play solution.
The purpose of the standardized IAS interface is to help any embedded vision system or board designer to gain access to all compatible image sensor modules.
'By combining the readily available ON Semiconductor image sensor-based IAS modules with the capability and flexibility of the AP1302 ISP, we have enabled manufacturers to easily prototype designs using the industry-standard 96Boards format,' said
