With FSM:GO and the new Sony IMX900 sensor from the Sony Pregius S series, you will lose no time in building your embedded vision application. The FSM:GO, together with our adapter ecosystem, allows you to get your application ready for production efficiently, quickly, and reliably without any major prior knowledge.
Our demonstrator shows how easy it is:
You develop your application as usual with a developer board of your choice and the corresponding toolchain (for our demonstrator, we use the NXP i.MX 8M Plus).
We have already tuned the image signal processor (ISP) of the developer board for the best image results.
The developer board is connected to the sensor peripheral via a flexible, long coax cable, which communicates with the high-throughput GMSL3™ standard. The sensor side consists of an industrial-grade, i.e. dust and splash-proof housing in which the FSM:GO is located.
FSM:GO IMX900 consists of:
- Sensor module with Sony IMX900
- Camera lens, specially selected and focused for sensor and application
- GMSL interface adapter for extended cable length
- Dust / splash-proof housing
- Driver and ISP tuning for NXP i.MX8MP
That’s why FSM:GO with IMX900:
The IMX900 sensor is Sony’s new 3 MP global shutter sensor from the Pregius S family. It is, therefore, particularly suitable for sharp images without rolling shutter artifacts of fast-moving objects. The low-cost sensor supports the MIPI-CSI-2 interface. Thanks to Sony’s unique Pregius S pixel architecture, its photodiodes absorb a particularly large amount of light because the buffer is now located not next to the diodes, as is usually the case, but below them. This and other technological refinements enable an exceptionally high light yield and, therefore, make the sensor particularly suitable for low-light environments in applications with the highest demands on image results.
Application
With the help of this setup, it is possible to implement very robust applications with artificial intelligence that can recognize and track objects and people, thus capturing work objects and obstacles and providing valuable information that increases efficiency and safety.
Areas of application:
- Industry 4.0 environments where little light is available
- Navigation of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs)
- Obstacle detection, code reading
- Automation in the smart home / building / city
