Mbed-Based Image Processing System

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.
