Bi-i V2 High-Speed Smart Camera
The Bi-i V2 intelligent camera, whose predecessor won the Product of
the Year Award at Vision 2003 in
Stuttgart, is an intelligent vision system with ultra high-speed image processing capability. It can capture
and process up to 10,000 images of 128x128 pixels in a second. At
its core is Cellular Visual Technology (CVT), which combines
bio-inspired hardware and software solutions into a flexible and
compact computational platform. Bi-i V2 is ideally suited to
applications requiring standalone operation and real-time
performance on tasks too complex to handle with normal cameras and
processors.
Bi-i V2 can be equipped with either one or two sensors. Currently, two
types of sensors can be used: a 1.3Mpixel CMOS image sensor, and the ultra-fast ACE16k_v2 focal-plane array sensor processor
chip from AnaFocus. The latter can also be configured as a co-processor, focusing
its processing power on selected areas of images captured by the
CMOS sensor. Powerful image processing operations are executed on
the ACE16k_v2 chip while the DSP remains free to run complex algorithms
(for example, multi-target tracking, sensor fusion, feature
classification, navigation, quality inspection, etc.). Due to the
flexibility of the system, other types of sensors can also be
integrated with minimal effort.
Key features of the Bi-i V2 smart camera:
- Standalone operation
- Optional focal-plane array sensor processor capable of capturing and
processing images at up to 10,000 frames per second
- Grayscale or color high-resolution CMOS sensor
- Embedded Texas Instruments C6415 fixed-point DSP running at 600
MHz
- Embedded Texas Instruments C6711 floating-point DSP running at
150 MHz (optional)
- Embedded Etrax communication processor
- 100Mbit Ethernet connection, USB ports, RS232, digital I/O.
