Embedded-vision applications present many design challenges and a new ElectronicsWeekly.com article written by Michaël Uyttersprot, a Technical Marketing Manager at Avnet Silica, and titled “Bringing embedded vision systems to market” discusses these challenges and solutions.
First, the article enumerates several design challenges including:
- Meeting hi-res image-processing demands within cost, size, and power goals
- Handling a variety of image-sensor types
- Handling multiple image sensors in one camera
- Real-time compensation (lens correction) for inexpensive lenses
- Distortion correction, depth detection, dynamic range, and sharpness enhancement
Next, the article discusses Avnet Silica’s various design offerings that help engineers quickly develop embedded-vision designs. Products discussed include:
- The Avnet PicoZed SoM, based on the Xilinx Zynq Z-7000 SoC
- The Avnet PicoZed Embedded Vision Kit, based on the PicoZed SoM
- The Xilinx reVISION acceleration stack for developing responsive and reconfigurable vision systems
The Avnet PicoZed Embedded Vision Kit is based on the Xilinx Zynq SoC
If you’re about to develop any sort of embedded-vision design, it might be worth your while to read the short article and then connect with your friendly neighborhood Avnet or Avnet Silica rep.
