Camera Development Kit (CDK) Ver. 2.2
GUI-based ISP and Vision System Development Kit
Customers can choose from a range of supported Image Sensors up to 16MP to develop their own ISP firmware and achieve their own unique camera system needs.
Overview
CDK is a GUI-based kit allowing vision system designers to develop, customize, and fine-tune THine’s 16M pixel Image Signal Processor (ISP) firmware in house according to their requirements.
CDK consists of SDK, 3T (THine Tuning Tools), and EVB.
How it works
CDK is an option for vision system designers. As the first step, the THEIA-CAM™ THSCU101 is the best way to evaluate THine ISP capabilities and to identify what items are needed to cover your design requirements. The THSCU101 has 12 choices for resolutions. THEIA-CAM™ image quality is tested with Imatest tools, and the report is available. See THSCU101 Image Quality Report.
If the THEIA-CAM™ image quality and functionalities are good to go, you do NOT need CDK. You can proceed integrating the THEIA-CAM™ into your system. If any design support and/or customization is needed, contact us.
If you need to fine-tune image features or to fully customize the performance by changing the image sensor, the CDK will be required.
If you concluded you need to use your own CMOS Image Sensor, CDK also helps. We have a demo set with OV2740 as an example of using the CDK to customize ISP firmware for a user selected Image Sensor. Click OV2740 Setup for Endoscope Applications for details.
