The Imaging Source JNA_FPD 335 B2

Highlights

The Imaging Source JNA_FPD 335 B2 preassembled embedded development kit for NVIDIA® Jetson Nano™ delivers plug-and-play efficiency for the rapid development of embedded vision and AI projects for applications in logistics, automation, and industrial internet of things (IIoT). The Imaging Source JNA_FPD 335 B2 kits’ Sony sensor camera modules offer exceptional image quality and color fidelity and ensure sustainable application design. The development kit comes equipped with a flashed SD card containing all necessary FPD-Link III drivers and a custom-designed system image. This image includes significant convenience functions such as Jupyter notebooks, enabling developers to quickly get started with the camera sensor via GStreamer elements. All sensors use either the standard video4linux API or NVIDIA’s proprietary API based on the libargus programming interface. The video4linux interface for example provides RAW video data and allows direct control of all sensor parameters. Leveraging the hardware ISP (Image Signal Processor) available on all Jetson platforms, the NVIDIA libargus interface delivers a processed video stream to the application with de-mosaicing, color correction, and white balance algorithms applied. The Imaging Source provides a default configuration file for the ISP. Using the GStreamer interface for libargus, the application can interface with NVIDIA’s standard Jetson ecosystem software stack which enables the efficient integration of powerful image processing frameworks such as DeepStream, Visionworks, and others.
