Sierra-olympia Technologies, a leader in thermal imaging solutions for drones and unmanned systems, is set to launch the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) for its Viento HD10 and Viento 10 infrared cameras.
MIPI is a widely recognized imaging interface that facilitates the transfer of multiple data streams, including video, between processing units across diverse hardware platforms. Its versatility makes it a preferred choice in various applications.
In contrast to traditional interfaces like Camera Link or GigE, MIPI-compliant physical connections are becoming increasingly popular in high-performance cameras, enhancing the efficiency of video transmission to host processors.
To further support users, sierra-Olympia Technologies has created a robust development kit tailored for the NVIDIA Jetson Orin™ platform. This kit is specifically designed to assist users in operating the MIPI-CSI2 versions of the viento HD10 and Viento 10 cameras.
The development kit features a practical example of an NVIDIA Jetson Orin running jetpack 5.1.3,linked to either the viento 10 or HD10 camera via a MIPI hardware interface. Additionally, it includes a functional driver, sample code for Jetson Linux, and a comprehensive user manual for custom driver compilation and installation.
This product, along with its support resources, ensures smooth integration into video processing systems. For those looking to implement the technology on a larger scale, an OEM configuration is also available.
Chris Johnston, President of Sierra-Olympia Technologies, stated, “MIPI represents the pinnacle of processing interfaces for real-time camera video data. We are thrilled to assist our customers in their diverse system designs by enabling low-level integration of our cutting-edge thermal imaging cameras.”
