Overview
Description
As the Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing continue to grow, companies require efficient platforms to quickly develop and prototype various image processing systems. The Arm® Mbed™ OS offers an accessible and scalable platform for IoT devices, facilitating the creation of embedded image processing applications. It supports features such as real-time image capture and processing, sensor integration, network connectivity, and more.
This Mbed-based image processing system enables rapid prototyping for a smart camera, which includes a smart display, network capabilities, storage, an audio jack, and sensor interfaces. The design also features wireless IoT connectivity via a Wi-Fi module, along with various UI interfaces for HDMI, LCD, and audio input/output. Extended sensing interfaces for humidity, temperature, and air quality further enhance the system, making it a comprehensive and scalable image processing solution for diverse applications.
System Benefits:
- A highly integrated MPU with power and clock devices provides a simplified design and reduced footprint, contributing to cost savings.
- The MPU features an Arm® Cortex®-A9 CPU that supports embedded-AI (e-AI) based imaging, which requires high-speed image processing.
- The Gadget Renesas board enables quick development for real-world applications in the Renesas Gadget project.
- This platform can be used in STEAM education through easy programming with the Mbed platform and MicroPython, making it an excellent tool for students and innovators.
