Speed of the camera

[Greg McKaskle]

Again, I encourage you to run lots of experiments with it. Many of the things you mention are used on a regular basis with industrial cameras, but those weren't in the price range to go in the kit. The 206 is primarily a security camera or monitoring camera, and the features like crop or ROI or precise timing don't exist. The camera does a pretty good job of getting a decent image back to the computer, but many of the things that would be useful for optimization aren't in the current camera's firmware. Maybe next year.

I actually looked at our JPEG algorithm to see about a subset decode, and it would be easy to do the bottom of the rect, but the others get hard really fast. Please let me know if you find a better JPEG algorithm. I was told this is a good/fast one, and I was unable to locate one from Freescale tuned to this architecture.
