Discover cutting-edge solutions from 4 leading global suppliersSierra-Olympia Technologies, a provider of thermal imaging solutions for drones and unmanned systems, is releasing the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) for its Viento HD10 and Viento 10 infrared cameras.
A widely adopted imaging interface, MIPI is designed to transport various data streams (including video) between processing nodes in a wide variety of hardware platforms and adoptions.
As an alternative to Camera Link or GigE, MIPI-compliant physical interfaces are increasingly used in high-end cameras to streamline video transport to host processors.
Sierra-Olympia Technologies has additionally developed a comprehensive development kit compatible with the NVIDIA Jetson Orin™ platform, designed to support users in operating the MIPI-CSI2 versions of the Viento HD10 or Viento 10.
The development kit includes a working example of an NVIDIA Jetson Orin equipped with Jetpack 5.1.3, connected to a Viento 10 or HD10 camera with a MIPI hardware interface. The kit also features a functional driver, sample code for Jetson Linux, and a detailed user guide for custom driver compilation and installation.
The product and its support enables seamless integration into video processing architecture. For users integrating the technology at scale, an OEM configuration is available.
Chris Johnston, President of Sierra-Olympia Technologies, commented, “MIPI is the ultimate processing interface for real time camera video data. We are excited to support our customers in their wide variety of system designs by enabling low-level integration of our innovative thermal imaging cameras.”
