Thanks to our preliminary work, you can integrate cameras as easily as sensors. This "add-in" instead of "add-on" significantly increases the synergies within the application and thus the cost efficiency of series products. Simplify solutions and add new functionality to your application. When series costs and long-term availability are taken into account, embedded systems offer convincing advantages.

Coordinated system solutions

With the phyCAM concept from PHYTEC, the requirements of a compact, tailor-made system solution can be easily met. The standardized ones phyCAM-SInterfaces enable the combination of scalable microcontroller modules with coordinated image processing components. This creates a complete system that is ideally adapted to the application.

Flexibility - the key to an individual series

Other functions are required in addition to image acquisition. For example engine controls, GPS, audio, CAN or I/O lines. There is also a need to adapt the hardware to the given mechanical dimensions. The application-specific carrier board covers precisely these requirements. This customization option is a very important part of our concept. It differentiates it from conventional, prefabricated components.

Interface to the software

With the phyCAM concept, the connection of the hardware to the application software is already prepared at the operating system level. The required drivers for the camera sensor and controller camera interface are in our BSPs integrated. Under Embedded Linux, the V4L2 interface is the interface to the application software.

Develop application software easily

The phyCAM interface makes image data available to the application software in a simple manner. Further processing of the data can be implemented quickly and efficiently using ready-made image processing libraries.
