Processing

We develop your camera modules for medical, surveillance, industrial, broadcast and automotive applications. From custom signal-processing to turn-key electronics: • OEM Camera Modules with CMOS image sensors from different manufacturers • Standard Camera Processing • All kinds of Geometric Lens correction • Special processing like High-Dynamic- Range (HDR), Near-Infra-Red (NIR) • Providing new features (3D, HSI) • Minimizing technology limitations (e.g. lens correction, defect pixels, CRA)

For a large variety of hardware configurations such as FPGA, GPU, eGPU, embedded Software based systems.

Signal Processing for CMOS Imagers and High Performance Camera design The new CMOS Image Sensor technology offers previously unknown features and highly integrated structures for your camera design. On the other hand it demands sophisticated knowledge in sensor and camera technology, another speciality of C.R.S. iiMotion. We provide you a broad support for your camera design such as: 1. Contracted development with off- the-shelf as well as with custom designed signal processing algorithms: o Algorithm development for image and camera related signal- processing in C/C++ or VHDL: ▪ Standard Camera Algorithms like Adaptive De-Bayering, Noise Reduction, Colour Correction, … ▪ Lens correction like Chromatic Aberration etc., ▪ Special colour processing in the colour spaces HSV, HSL, ▪ Any kind of CMOS Image Sensor Correction (e.g. for defect pixels) ▪ High Dynamic Range Capturing, Processing and Rendition ▪ Providing new features (3D, HSI) ▪ Special processing like High- Dynamic-Range (HDR), Near- Infra-Red (NIR) • Custom development of CMOS camera modules (with image sensors from different manufacturers) o For a large variety of hardware configurations such as FPGA, GPU, eGPU, embedded Software based systems • DirectShow Filter: o Customer specific Source-, Transform-, Analyse filter ▪ e.g. Oscilloscope, Vectorscope, Histogram o Standard filter for video- processing of any type and any bit-depth ▪ e.g. Conversion of colour standards RGB, YUV422 & 444, HSV, also for a bit- depth higher than 8-bit ▪ e.g. Format-Conversions: De-interlacing, Scaler, 3D Formats...

Supported by several characterization and measurement services: Characterisation and Improvement of Camera Systems (preferably with CMOS Sensor) from the smallest Endoscope camera (Chip-on-the-Tip) up to Broadcast camera withHD-SDI Output • Sensor linearity or FPN (Fix Pattern Noise) o DSNU (dark signal non-uniformity) o PRNU (photo response non- uniformity) o PRNL (photo response non- linearity) • Pixel defects • Cross talk (Pixel-to-Pixel) for colour sensors Reference Test images on integrating sphere LE6 < 8000 Lux Characterisation of Objectives of any sort (also Endoscope etc.) for Geometric Distortion, Lateral Chromatic Aberration, vignetting, etc. • You will get results as tables or function • Optionally with algorithms for correcting these Objective / Lens artefacts Characterisation from light sources, TFT- oder Plasma displays using spectroradiometer or Display Colour Analyser. Measurements in visible and in near infra-red spectrum from LEDs, Xenon lamps, Halogen lamps, ...
