FPGAs help people see the world wider, faster, and more delicate!

introduction:
Cameras play an important role in industrial and life applications. Unmanned factories, unmanned vehicles, unmanned supermarkets, cameras in these areas, but the performance of the camera can not just stay on the visible level, we must not only make it visible, but also let it Visible in a more complex light environment, see clearly, look "fast"! Making high-quality industrial eyes requires good graphics sensors and image data processing devices. Who can do these tasks?

Photonfocus has launched a camera, as shown in Figure 1, which is the MV3-D640I-M01-144 model camera, which is mainly used for the SWIR (short wave IR, 930nm to 1700nm) spectral range, that is, the range of infrared rays. This light range is invisible to the human eye, so a material sensitive to this band is needed to generate the image. This product uses Sofradir SNAKE low noise InGaAs image sensor, which not only has 640*512 pixel resolution and 12bit. The data bit width of the grayscale image output, also supports CameraLink or GigE interface, has a SNR of 1200:1, and supports a sampling rate of 300 frames per second. The global shutter not only enables the camera to achieve subtle levels of exposure at the highest frame rate, but such a short exposure time has no effect on the stability of the frame rate.

With a high-performance sensor, you need a good data processor, which requires strong graphics processing and better programmability. Photonfocus's MV3-D640I-M01-144-CL camera uses Xilinx's programmable device ArTIx-7 FPGA, which provides an interface to the graphics sensor, ensuring better frame sample data processing and camera programming. ability. ArTIx-7 devices have a high performance-to-power ratio, which allows the camera to capture images at high speeds without experiencing too much heat. Xilinx's FPGAs not only perform well on this camera, but different models of FPGAs also play a pivotal role in other cameras. For example, the camera MV1-D2048x1088-3D06 for 3D applications is equipped with Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA device; the camera MV1-D2048x1088-HS01-96-G2-10, which can produce high-definition video, is equipped with Xilinx Spartan-6 LX75 FPGA device. and many more. It can be seen that Xilinx's FPGA is quite extensive in the application of the current high-definition camera.

to sum up:
Now the camera can be seen everywhere, on the basis of ensuring performance, the camera should also be smarter with the times. This requires the camera to have a clever "brain" that can be extended from security and smart detection while achieving the required HD and other performance metrics. This "brain" FPGA is a good choice, which can ensure that the camera can keep up with the times in the information age and constantly improve its "skills"!
