Indian OEM e-con Techniques collaborates with chipset makers and sensor producers to develop digicam module options, targetting the US market. At India Electronics Week 2024, Co-founder Maharajan Veerabahu spoke to Yashasvini Razdan in regards to the challenges and alternatives that India presents for the embedded imaginative and prescient section and the way e-con plans to navigate via this turf.

Q. How tough or simple is it to develop the firmware of a digicam?
A. In a digicam, you might have a digicam sensor, a picture sign processor (ISP), and a lens. The firmware is primarily concerned within the ISP, with some contribution within the sensor as effectively. The sensor frames must be processed within the ISP, and the ensuing output should move via an interface to achieve the host processor. The tuning of the ISP is a vital a part of firmware improvement, specializing in picture sign processing. Understanding picture processing and sign tuning is essential for ISP improvement. Then again, in case you are engaged on the protocol or interface facet, an in-depth comprehension of the protocol and its implementation is essential. We developed a USB video class (UVC) stack for USB 3.0 over two years, creating the stack from scratch and optimising it for velocity and efficiency. In distinction, some ISP initiatives we undertook had been extra expedited, lasting solely a few months. Every mission’s improvement timeline varies based mostly on its complexity and necessities.
