CMUCAM4

Description

Based on the Parallax P8X32A processor, the CMUcam4 is a camera with an internal, programmable, Arduino-compliant processor. The main processor is a Propeller processor connected to a CMOS OmniVision 9665 camera module.

• Completely open source and reprogrammable via the Propeller Tool

• Includes Arduino compatible connections

• RGB color sensor with 640×480 resolution

• Image processing speed 10 frames per second

• Send raw images via serial or save on flash card

• On-board image processor (QQVGA 160×120)

• Follow the color spots in RGB / YUV space

• Mean, median, mode and standard deviation data collection

• Segmented (thresholded) image capture for tracking visualization (over serial or to flash card) 80×60 image resolution

• Monochrome color space

• Formation of a histogram

• Custom crop of the image

• µSD/µSDHC/µSDXC flash card slot with FAT16/32 full file system driver support w/ Directory and File manipulation

• Two-port servo controller (pan and tilt w/ 1us resolution at a 50 Hz refresh rate) Pan and/or Tit servo channels can be configured as GPIOs

• Indicator user controllable LED (red) and power LED (green)

• TTL UART (up to 115200 baud , 19200 baud by default)

• Monochrome baseband analog video output (NTSC/PAL) of 160×120 resolution for tracking visualization (segmented (thresholded)

• image w/ color centroid and bounding box overlay at 30 FPS)

• CMUcam4 GUI for viewing images on the PC.
