Vadzo Imaging Positions Bolt-1335CRA: 13MP AR1335 Autofocus MIPI Camera for Embedded AI and Vision Systems
Embedded AI methods a e o ly pretty much as good because the f ames they eceive. A got here a module that i t oduces late cy, i co siste t focus, o u ecessa y boa d complexity limits what a i fe e ce pipeli e ca obtain a d how succesful the u de lyi g mannequin is. A AR1335 MIPI Got here a add esses two of those limitatio s di ectly by pai i g co ti uous autofocus with a ative MIPI CSI-2 co ectio i stead of outi g f ames th ough a i te mediate USB stage.
Mounted focus modules fo ce a system i teg ato to decide on o e wo ki g dista ce a d settle for deg aded sha p ess exterior that a ge, which is a p oblem fo obotics platfo ms a d visio methods that ope ate at va iable dista ces f om thei topic. A AR1335 Autofocus MIPI Se so emoves that co st ai t on the optical degree, so the AI mannequin dow st eam all the time eceives a p ope ly targeted f ame.
The Bolt-1335CRA is constructed a ou d the O semi AR1335 MIPI Got here a se so , a 1/3.2 i ch Again-Aspect Illumi ated CMOS gadget with a 1.1-mic o pixel pitch that delive s full 13MP esolutio at 4208 by 3120 pixels. As a AR1335 4K MIPI Got here a, the module ca additionally output a dow sampled 4K st eam f om the identical se so pipeli e fo applicatio s that do ot eed the total 13MP f ame.
Co ti uous autofocus is ha dled by a voice coil moto le s actuato comma ded th ough sta da d co t ol egiste s, so the module fu ctio s as a AR1335 MIPI Se so Module able to holdi g focus mechanically because the wo ki g dista ce cha ges. This matte s di ectly fo a AR1335 Embedded AI Got here a deployme t as a result of a AI mannequin t ai ed o sha p efe e ce photos loses accu acy rapidly whe the dwell feed d ifts out of focus.
Rathe tha outi g picture information th ough a USB co t olle , the Bolt-1335CRA exposes its output di ectly ove a MIPI CSI-2 i te face co figu in a position ac oss 2-la e o 4-la e impleme tatio s depe di g o the host platfo m. This emoves a i te mediate se ializatio stage f om the captu e path, which lowe s late cy betwee se so eadout a d the f ame eachi g the AI i fe e ce e gi e. A 13MP Autofocus MIPI Got here a constructed this fashion retains the e ti e captu e-to-i fe e ce path as sho t as doable.
The AR1335 se so makes use of a olli g shutte eadout suited to the f ami g patte s typical of mounted obotics statio s a d embedded visio i spectio poi ts. The module suppo ts gadget t ee-based i teg atio o commo embedded Li ux platfo ms, so a MIPI Autofocus Got here a ca be b ought o li e with no customized d ive w itte f om sc atch.
The Bolt-1335CRA is Vadzo Imagi g’s ewest additio to its Bolt MIPI got here a se ies a d its fi st e t y positio ed particularly fo embedded AI a d visio system deployme ts. As a 13MP MIPI Got here a, the module pai s the O semi AR1335 se so with a facto y-calib ated co ti uous autofocus le s i a compact fo m facto constructed fo di ect i teg atio i to a embedded AI host boa d.

Positio ed as a MIPI CSI-2 Autofocus Got here a, the Bolt-1335CRA fu ctio s as a Excessive Resolutio MIPI Autofocus Got here a a d a Quick Autofocus MIPI Got here a suited to embedded AI pipeli es that ca ot affo d a sluggish o u eliable captu e stage.
Full-f ame 13MP output at full f ame ate is a ely what a embedded AI pipeli e really eeds f om eve y f ame. The Bolt-1335CRA suppo ts Dy amic ROI st eami g di ectly on the se so degree, letti g the host defi e a d shift a egio of i te est i eal time with out e- egotiati g the MIPI st eam o d oppi g f ames. Fu ctio i g as a Dy amic ROI MIPI Got here a, the module lets i teg ato s t ack a movi g topic o a set i spectio zo e at full se so esolutio whereas cutti g the info ate that will othe sensible be spe t st eami g the est of the f ame. As a result of the wi dowi g happe s o the AR1335 se so itself athe tha th ough a softwa e c op dow st eam, the educed-ba dwidth st eam ca ies o comp essio o scali g pe alty.
A co ti uous autofocus system that focuses o whateve sits at f ame ce te wo ks poo ly whe the topic of i te est is off-axis o movi g. The Bolt-1335CRA suppo ts ROI-based autofocus, allowi g the host to desig ate a selected egio withi the f ame as the main focus ta get i stead of elyi g o a set ce te -weighted zo e. As a ROI Autofocus MIPI Got here a, it retains a defi ed i spectio a ea, t acked object, o ope ato -selected zo e i sha p focus eve as othe egio s of the sce e transfer i a d out of the depth of discipline.
A si gle international exposu e worth st uggles i sce es with combined lighti g, whe e the egio a AI mannequin really eeds to ead is u de uncovered o blow out elative to the est of the f ame. The Bolt-1335CRA suppo ts ROI-based auto exposu e, mete i g off a host-defi ed egio athe tha the total f ame ave age.
