High-end Multi-camera Technology, Applications and Examples

For OEMs and system integrators, many of today's applications in VR/AR/MR, ADAS, measurement and automation require multiple coordinated high performance cameras. Current generic components are not optimized to achieve the desired traits in terms of resolution, frame rate, latency, imaging quality, reliability, scalability and time to market. This presentation explains how XIMEA’s xPlatform provides unique solutions to address all of these requirements, utilizing PCI Express and various image sensor technologies.

Embedded Vision Summit 2017 Presentation on the subject

High-bandwidth interface for use in Multi-camera Embedded Systems

Weighing the pros and cons of the PCI Express technology as the interface used between a camera and Embedded vision system and providing proofs of how PCIe being a standard computer interface can enable a remarkably compact form factor while still fulfilling all the major application requirements like robustness, fast speed, low latency and processor overheads, long and short distances, software transparency, modularity and aggregation of image data streams from multiple cameras into a single cable.
