Camera Requirements
- Shrinjay Mukherjee
Selection Process: Camera will be selected by mechanical, computer vision and electrical. The following are computer vision’s requirements for the camera.
Criteria | Details |
|---|---|
Minimum resolution of 5MP, preferred 10MP+ | Using this procedure, we found that we need a camera with a minimum resolution of around 2.5-5MP. However, for margin, we’d prefer to have a camera of 10MP+. The GoPro is 12MP. |
CSI, USB or IMX477 output strongly preferred | A CSI or USB output makes direct connection to our Jetson or other SBC very straightforward. The GoPro requires an adapter to convert to CSI or USB. |
Please note that continuing to use the GoPro should be considered as the “do-nothing” option, using it is possible with an adapter, just sacrificing reliability.
A few suggestions:
IMX477 Cameras by Arduvision ($76 USD + conversion + $18 shipping and duties)
PiCamera ($40 CAD + shipping)
