With consumer-grade sensors based on the MIPI Alliance® CSI-2 specifications offering a rich set of features, this has made them especially attractive for other high-performance applications. As such, the new breed of CSI-2 sensors must now be tested and validated for real-life situations involving continuous (high frame rate) captures and continuously variable stimulus conditions — not just single frame analysis.
To address this, a frame grabber is needed that supports:
- Live streaming to a host computer
- Capturing large sequences of contiguous images from a single video stream
- Dynamically controlling the sensor parameters while continuously modifying input and
environmental conditions
