CeleX5-MIPI

SDK for CeleX5 sensor on CX3 platform.

• CeleX^TM is a family of smart image sensor, specially designed for machine vision. Each pixel in CeleX^TM sensor can individually monitor the relative change in light intensity and report an event if a threshold is reached.

• The output of the sensor is not a frame, but a stream of asynchronous digital events. The speed of the sensor is not limited by any traditional concept such as exposure time and frame rate. It can detect fast motion which is traditionally captured by expensive, high speed cameras running at thousands of frames per second, but with drastically reduced amount of data.

• Our technology allows post-capture change of frame-rate for video playback. One can view the video at 10,000 frames per second to see high speed events or at normal rate of 25 frames per second.

• This SDK provides an easy-to-use software interface to get data from the sensor and communicate with the sensor, and it is consistent across the Windows (32-/64-bit) and Linux (32-/64-bit) development environments. In addition, it provides both pure C++ interfaces without any third libraries and OpenCV-based interfaces to obtain data from the sensor.

• CeleX5 is a multifunctional smart image sensor with 1Mega-pixels.

• This SDK provides three working modes of CeleX5 Sensor: Full-frame Picture data, Event data, and Full-frame Optical-Flow data. CeleX5 also provides Loop Mode data which alternately renders Full-frame Picture data, Event data, and Full-frame Optical-Flow data.
