Greg Blackman reports from Embedded World, in Nuremberg, where he finds rapid progress in technology for imaging at the edge
Basler's embedded vision development kit, which won an Embedded World award, along with numerous other vision technology for embedded processing, was on display during the Embedded World trade fair at the end of February in Nuremberg, Germany
Matthew Dale discovers embedded processing and new CMOS technology are bringing advances to medical and life science imaging
On display at the Phytec booth (1H67) will be the PhyBoard-Nunki embedded imaging kit, which uses the two image processing units of NXP’s i.MX 6 processor. It is designed for embedded applications with multiple cameras, such as intercom systems with video, quality control applications that require a thermal imaging camera and a colour camera, or stereoscopy applications. The two camera ports of the kit can be used via five physical interfaces: two parallel PhyCam.P interfaces, two serial PhyCam-S+ interfaces, and a MIPI camera interface.
