What CMOS chips are compatible with Jetson modules?
The SONY IMX477, SONY IMX219, and IMX179 are all CMOS chips for Jetson modules. The following are the performance characteristics and usage scenarios of specific chips. In addition, some suggestions for the consideration of CMOS chip selection.
SONY IMX477 : This is a 12.3-megapixel CMOS chip, model number IMX477R, with high resolution (4056×3040 pixels) and a large pixel area for low-light environments. It also supports RAW12/10/8 and COMP8 formats for industrial and consumer scenarios and its backlit sensor architecture provides increased sensitivity, making it ideal for use in low-light environments.
SONY IMX219 : This is an 8 megapixel CMOS chip, model number IMX219. It offers a variety of field of view options, such as 79.3°, 120°, 160°, and some models support night vision. The chip is compatible with Raspberry PI series and Jetson series motherboards, and is suitable for AI intelligent applications such as face recognition, road sign line recognition and license plate recognition. Some models support night vision, which further expands its application range.
The IMX179 chip is also an 8-megapixel CMOS image sensor for the Raspberry PI and Jetson Nano. Although there is less specific information, it is equally applicable to these development platforms, and specific models and features may require further documentation or contact the supplier for more details .
The selection of CMOS chip mainly considers the following factors :
Compatibility : Ensure that the selected chip is compatible with the Jetson module, including supported interface types, voltage and current requirements, etc.
Performance : Consider image resolution, frame rate, low light performance and other parameters to meet specific application needs.
Cost and power : CMOS sensors are generally low cost and low power consumption, suitable for embedded systems with long operating hours.
Application scenario : Select an appropriate field of view Angle based on the application scenario and whether night vision is required.
