Using msp430 for image processing

Anmol Saxena
Prodigy 40 points


Hi, I wanna make a project to simply detect an image and take certain very simple actions accordingly. Now I'm confused whether to use Msp430 launchpad or beaglebone for this. I just began engineering 3 months ago so I know MATLAB and ARDUINO but will have to learn linux. pls suggest some viable solutions. And also, if u can suggest a low cost but efficient camera for this project.

    It’s rather obvious that image processing (except for some very simple streamable tasks like brightness change or cropping) will require enough memory to store original and altered image. The largest ram any MSP has is 64k, which isn’t much for today’s image sizes. Most MSPs only have 16 k or less. Good for 160x120px (64k) or 80x60px (16k). Well, that’s barely more than ‘icon processing’.

    So go for the beaglebone.
    And regarding the camera, well, it depends on what kind of image (and image processing) you need. With the provided information, I can recommend ‘anything that creates an image’, including the ‘RAM camera’ (a dismantled 1k RAM chip where the ram cells are discharged by light through an optic - the first digital camera ever)
