Multi-camera solution for NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin based on Sony STARVIS IMX485

This large sensor camera (1/1.2”) can be readily integrated with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin and is designed to address the rising processing needs of AI-based embedded vision applications such as autonomous mobile robots and agricultural vehicles. This large sensor size will also enable e-CAM82_CUOAGX to capture high-resolution images with more detail and clarity.

In addition, this low-light camera houses the Sony STARVIS IMX485 sensor with a large pixel size of 2.9µm (H) x 2.9µm (V), which is double the size of most 4K sensors available in the market today. This, in turn, will ensure high sensitivity even in absolute darkness. 

e-CAM82_CUOAGX is a multi-camera solution that can connect up to six cameras to have an extended field of view for building 360° surround-view systems.  Further, e-con Systems will support any customisation required on NVIDIA Isaac ROS to reduce the camera integration efforts for robotic vision systems.

“NVIDIA Jetson platforms are powerful AI computers for energy-efficient autonomous machines. Being an elite camera ecosystem partner of NVIDIA, e-con Systems designs and manufactures numerous Jetson-based vision solutions to help machines see the world with high-quality cameras. e-CAM82_CUOAGX is a Sony STARVIS IMX485-based ultra-low light 4K camera solution specially designed for NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin. This large sensor camera and the AGX Orin development kit are the ideal combo for edge AI-enabled systems like autonomous machines and Intelligent Transport Systems,” said Gomathi Sankar, Senior Product Manager at e-con Systems.

“NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin complements e-con’s multi-camera solutions to deliver high-quality, 4K vision-based applications for autonomous machines,” said Durga Peddireddy, Jetson partner ecosystem and camera solutions lead at NVIDIA. “This multi-camera offering also supports the widely adopted GMSL interface that extends connectivity for areas such as industrial robotics.”

e-CAM82_CUOAGX in combination with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin (the latest system-on-a- module from NVIDIA that offers 8x the performance of its previous generation) is set to revolutionise edge-based AI analytics applications, offering a maximum performance of 275 TOPS. It is a high-resolution camera that is capable of streaming Full HD @ 90fps and 4K UHD @ 72fps.

Key features and benefits of e-CAM82_CUOAGX

• Ultra-low-light camera: Housing the Sony STARVIS IMX485 camera and having a sensor with a large optical format and pixel size, e-CAM82_CUOAGX is ideal for low-light applications.
• Readily integrated with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin: Makes the camera suitable for applications that need heavy processing.
• 4K resolution: Enables e-CAM82_CUOAGX to capture more details and a large field of view.
• Large sensor and pixel size: Helps to collect more details of the scene with superior clarity even in absolute darkness.

These key features make e-CAM82_CUOAGX suitable for applications such as:

• Autonomous mobile robots like service robots, warehouse robots, delivery robots, etc.
• Autonomous tractors and other agricultural vehicles
• People detection and crowd analytics systems
• Telehealth devices

To help the developers of camera-based embedded devices that use Jetson AGX Orin, e-con Systems is extending the support for all its camera modules to this future-ready processor. This means all of e-con’s camera solutions – spanning global shutter, IP67 rated cameras, 2MP to 18MP resolution, GMSL2 cameras, multi-camera solutions, 3D time of flight and stereo cameras, etc. – can now be readily evaluated with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin.
