OMNIVISION has announced that its camera system, including the OG02B10 global shutter sensor and OAX4000 image processor, has been blessed by NVIDIA and is available with NVIDIA’s Holoscan and Jetson platforms.
Together, the OG02B10 and OAX4000 are the eyes and brain, respectively, of machines that need to see, such as autonomous vehicles or humanoid robots, which can be used for navigation, object detection as well as interaction with humans. Having as much of the machine vision system on the spot or embedded is critically important to rapid response loops. You do not want either an autonomous vehicle or a robot to have to wait to get its instructions from a remote server in the cloud.
The OG02B10 color global shutter (GS) image sensor, with its 3x 3-micron pixel technology, delivers precise, high-quality images even in low light without producing blur or artifacts, according to the release.
The OAX4000 is an image signal processor (ISP) that can manage images from up to 4 cameras with a 140 dB high dynamic range (HDR), according to OMNIVISION. It can handle multiple vision sensors, which is what gives humanoid robots a spatial sense, just as your stereoscopic vision gives you depth perception.
NVIDIA Holoscan is the full-stack, an AI sensor processing platform that connects embedded systems to the edge and the cloud.
NVIDIA Jetson is a platform for edge AI and robotics.
OMNIVISION had the combined machine vision system on display at their booth at the VISION conference and exhibition, which was recently held at Messe Stuttgart in Germany.
