Artificial Intelligence System Using 2D/3D MIPI CSI-2 Cameras and NVIDIA Jetson Modules
Visual input is driving Edge AI and the need for multi-sensors processing in low power, high performance compute systems. An AI system which allows you to run demanding AI algorithms at video rates can be created by combining MIPI CSI-2 cameras with the NVIDIA Jetson Platform. The MIPI CSI-2 image sensors output raw data directly from the image sensor with no need for conversion or compression, and without as much protocol overhead as an Ethernet or USB data link. The MIPI CSI-2 camera’s full-resolution and uncompressed video feed provides high-quality data, and these cameras can be placed exactly where they need to be via SerDes link. The Jetson’s ISP and GPU, and other accelerators, enables the processing of data at high frame rates.
