Image processing - the winners!
It was close right up to the last second of the reader vote in the 'Image processing' category. Here is an overview of the category winners.
3rd place: With the 'VC MIPI Embedded Vision Kit' and a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 or 3+ from Vision Components, a fully-fledged and industrial-grade embedded vision system can be set up quickly.
The core component is the 'VC Compute Module Interface (CMI) Board', onto which the RASP CM is simply plugged. The embedded vision kit contains a VC-MIPI camera module including software driver, an FPC-VC-MIPI cable (flexible circuit board) and an S-mount/M12 lens holder. More...
