Sebastian, that sounds like something to try, but wouldn't that significantly reduce the field of view? Also, do you know if the WOI settings avoid the "horizontal blanking" issue which is what would cause the binning/skipping solution to not provide that great of an improvement? I don't see anyth

thanks for the quick response. In talking with one of the other people in lab, we realized that most of the experience that we had working with cameras with rolling shutters was with cheap webcams. We hoped that the readout on the elphel sensor *might* be fast enough that the rolling shutter effec

One other question for Andrey/someone else is: - How much time elapses between when the first and last row are read-out? from looking at the datasheet, it says that the maximum datarate is 96Mp/s, which would mean that for full resolution, the time gap would be at least 0.052488 seconds. - is th

Current Elphel 353 camera only has the rolling shutter option, there is Elphel 363 as well that uses a high resolution, large scale Kodak CCD but these sensors are rather expensive (~3000$) and only deliver a rather low framerate (3-5fps if I remember correctly). Also if I remember correctly Elphel

2010-11-25 Thread Abe Bachrach
Hi there, I was very excited to find the Elphel camera since it looked like exactly what I was looking for in terms of a camera integrated with an FPGA, however I was disappointed to see that the only sensor available uses a rolling shutter. I am interested in using the FPGA to do visual odometry
