GenX320MP – CM2 Module

Housed in a compact optical module with flex and Hirose board-to-board connector, the GenX320 CM2 offers a powerful solution for diverse embedded vision applications. At the heart of the CM2 is a 320×320 1/5″ format 6.3μm pixel BSI stacked event-based Metavision® sensor. GenX320 was designed with the explicit goal to improve integrability and usability in at-the-edge vision systems. This includes event data pre-processing and formatting, data interface compatibility and low latency connectivity to different processing platforms including latest low-power, neuromorphic processors. The sensor has been optimized for very low power operation, featuring a hierarchy of application-specific power modes. GenX320 contains an integrated Event Signal Processing (ESP) pipeline which includes timestamping, filtering, throughput regulation and data formatting functions. An Event Rate Controller (ERC) allows to cap the output event rate to a programmable limit. A Spatio-Temporal Contrast filter (STC) detects and removes redundant bursts and trails of events triggered by high contrast features in the scene. An Anti-Flicker (AFK) filter detects and filters events generated by flickering light sources in either band pass or band stop modes.
