Re: Raspberry Pi + Camera Module = New Vision System?

  • Contrast
  • Saturation
  • Encoding (Currently only JPEG, BMP, GIF, and PNG)
  • Exposure
  • Auto White Balance
  • Image Effects
  • Metering
  • Horizontal/Vertical/Both Mirroring

I'm trying to add more features so that it will have better debugging, etc. like you said. Any suggestions of what I could add, I would be more than happy to hear!
That camera module is actually using:

5MP (2592×1944 pixels) Omnivision 5647 sensor in a fixed focus module

So basically it is using a similar interface to what I was doing.
Most of OmniVision's modules are relatively similar.
If you take a microscope to a large number of USB webcams you'll find OmniVision's wafer art.

I wasn't doing this with a Raspberry Pi though.
I was using something I worked up with a local company that makes ARM development boards.
The Raspberry Pi is faster.
It doesn't have built on CAN which I actually do.
It would be possible to add it (after all it works on this board).

This should be interesting.
When this was proposed it didn't seem like anyone was interested in it.
I look forward to seeing how this works out.
If I can help please let me know.
