Aptina MT9V022 CMOS sensor chip using Davinci series

Chandru Dhavamani
Intellectual 1940 points

Hi,

        We like to develop a USB camera that interfaces with the Aptina MT9V022 CMOS sensor chip.  The sensor is monochrome and runs at 60Hz  752x480 using 10bits/pixel.  However future requirements might use a different sensor running up to 100Hz with 1280x1024 (assuming compression will be needed for USB 2.0)

This would ideally be communicating with the USB video class (UVC).

We currently have limited knowledge with using DSPs, being mostly a software development company. 

One of our options is to have this on an FPGA and have the development outsourced, however we would prefer to develop this in house within a reasonable time frame.  I have investigated the Davinci series and thought they may be suitable and allow our camera to be reasonably quick to market.

 Questions:

1.       What DSP solutions do you have that could fulfill this requirement?

2.       What APIs are available to control the DSP given our application?

3.       Are there royalties associated with the above APIs?

4.       Assuming TI has a suitable DSP are there any development boards that use it?

 

Thanks

Chandru

    Chandru,

    My name is Al DiGuiseppe.  My company is D3 Engineering.  I believe we can help you but I have a few questions.

    1) Will you be sending data at 60 frames per second full resolution?

    2) Will you use compression or not?

    3) Do you plan to do any processing before send the data out the USB port?

    4) Do you need to be powered by the USB or can a seperate power supply be used (Wall pack)?

    5) Do have a target cost for you camera system?

    D3 engineering has a rapid development kit called the OEM CDK.  It is based on a TI DM6437 DSP and withit you can eaisly satrt capturing images and grabbing them via the ethernet interface.  We have versions of the main board that could be the basis of your camera product.  We have interfaced to some 40 different imaging sensors including the Aptina MT9V034 that compares favorabily to the MT9V022 you are planning to use. 

    Please feel free to contact me via Email at al.diguiseppe@d3engineering.com or by ohone at 585-429-1550 x113. You can see more details on the Camera kit on our website at www.d3engineering.com.

    Look at the EUCDK from Leopard Imaging.  It comes with the UVC already developed.   It is based on the IPNC.   This should save you a lot of development time.
