MIPI camera module for high image quality

The VC MIPI IMX585 MIPI camera from Vision Components is equipped with the Sony Starvis 2 IMX585 image sensor and offers an image resolution of 8.4 megapixels as well as 4K and HDR support. According to the manufacturer, the sensor has larger pixels than comparable modules and is said to deliver high image quality in all lighting conditions with its 88 dB dynamic range. The camera with MIPI CSI-2 interface is thus said to be suitable for AI-based medical applications and other demanding applications. It can be configured as a color or monochrome camera and will be available in series towards the end of the year.

Designed for industrial series production

According to the manufacturer, the VC-MIPI camera modules offer high quality, robust and industry-optimized design as well as assured long-term availability. Via the MIPI CSI-2 interface, the MIPI camera modules can be connected to all common processor platforms. According to Vision Components, the corresponding drivers are available free of charge. Vision Components also supplies cables and accessories adapted to the MIPI cameras. With the smart components, Vision OEMs should be able to bring their projects to production readiness faster, easier and more cost-effectively.

VC Lib now available to all customers

To provide customers with even better support for embedded vision integration in the future, the VC Lib software library will be freely available to all of the company’s customers, according to Vision Components. Until now, it was reserved for customers of VC embedded vision systems. According to the manufacturer, VC Lib includes basic functions for image processing applications as well as more complex functions for pattern recognition or barcode reading. The applications are highly optimized for ARM processor platforms, according to the manufacturer, and are intended to enable rapid and cost-effective development of end applications.
