Brian Rodricks, CTO of SensorSpace, presents the “Introduction to Cameras for Embedded Applications” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this presentation, Rodricks introduces the essential features of cameras for embedded vision applications. He explains lens mounts and camera interface options such as MIPI, USB and GigE. He explores sensor features and trade-offs, including rolling shutter vs. global shutter, monochrome vs. color, RGB vs. RGBW and pixel size vs. array size.
Rodricks also examines trade-offs between field of view and distortion, as well as performance trade-offs such as dynamic range vs. sensitivity, pixel size vs. resolution and frame rates. Finally, he addresses the crucial aspects of price vs. performance and control, covering access to register settings, raw data and software.
