New Imager Modules and Tools Enable Bringing High-Quality Vision Systems to Market Quickly

Traditionally, developers have struggled to select the best image sensors and lenses, integrate these with the rest of the system, and tune the sensor for best performance. This has resulted in long development cycles and low-quality image data. We present imager modules from onsemi and Arrow that enable developers to rapidly develop vision systems that capture high-quality images. These modules incorporate advanced image sensors coupled with matched lenses, delivered in the form of boards that can be snapped into the main board of an embedded system. The modules and drivers have been tested with many popular ISPs and SoCs. The sensors are pre-tuned to meet the needs of many applications, and the onsemi DevSuite enables developers to quickly adjust the tuning if needed. We’ll show how these imager modules and associated software remove the pain and guesswork typically associated with imager selection and integration, freeing developers to focus on other aspects of their system.
