The NXP i.MX 8M Plus features a dual camera image signal processor providing real-time processing for crystal clear images and a neural network accelerator delivering up to 2.3 TOPs for extensive machine learning capabilities. In combination with the new camera modules, the resulting vision system is suitable for intelligent, vision-based machine learning applications. The camera module, an 8 MP dart with BCON for MIPI interface, features a premium 4K sensor with excellent high dynamic range (HDR) from On Semiconductor. The image data can be processed smoothly by the i.MX 8M Plus, which is optimized for the HDR feature of the sensor. In addition to the new camera module, two add-on camera kits coordinated with the SoC complete the solution concept. These add-on kits contain all hardware components and the necessary drivers to run the camera module with the applications processor without any programming effort. They are available with the new 8 MP or a 5 MP dart BCON for MIPI camera modules, which are suitable for complex industrial applications due to their long-term availability, quality, and robustness.
