By taking advantage of select features in standardized interfaces, vision system architects can help reduce processor load, cost and power consumption while gaining flexibility to source components from multiple vendors. In this presentation, we’ll introduce the standardized MIPI CSI-2 imaging conduit solution for interfacing image sensors to processors. We’ll explain how the solution supports basic operations of a camera sensor, including physical frame transport options and orthogonal commands for autoexposure, autofocus, auto white balance and event detection. We’ll also introduce command sets to help bring up and tune sensors. In addition, we’ll explore provisions to alleviate RF emissions, enable aggregation of data from multiple remote sensors and alleviate the need for dual voltage signaling to avoid electrical overstress issues. We will also touch on emerging support for frame transport using WiFi.
