Camera Image Processing and camera expertise are becoming increasingly critical with the development and proliferation of imaging-enabled consumer electronic devices. Because of their performance, flexibility, and reasonable cost, camera integration / image sensor integration and camera image processing algorithms have become essential and are used extensively in applications ranging from consumer, computer vision, industrial, defense, multimedia, sensor networks, surveillance, automotive to astronomy. Camera integration involves the seamless incorporation of camera modules into various systems or devices to capture images or videos for a wide range of applications. Whether it’s for smartphones, security systems, drones, medical devices, or industrial equipment, integrating cameras effectively requires careful consideration of hardware, software, and integration processes.

Camera Integration

As part of Mistral’s image processing and camera expertise, we offer camera sensor tuning, Camera Image Processing, power management, caliberaton and testing. We ensure IS and IQ tuning addressing maximize HDR, minimize Low light, optimize AE, AWB, colour accuracy, tone curves, contrast resolution, objective metrics, subjective testing and field and drive testing. Camera based embedded gadgets and Camera Image Processing algorithms developed by us with CMOS and CCD image sensor integration and multi-camera designs have been implemented on various ARM based embedded processors like i.MX, OMAP35x, AM/DM37x,  DM81xx, AM65x, SnapDragon 820,  QRB5165, NVIDIA Jetson series etc. for Android or Linux platforms. Mistral’s image sensor integration, Camera Image Processing, camera integration and related camera expertise covers CMOS/CCD based MIPI/CSI Camera Sensor Integration, implementation of coding standards, development of camera interfaces, image/video compression algorithms, image signal processing and system software development. After the sensor image data are preprocessed, the processed image is used to perform estimation/ interpolation operations on the sensor data acquired to reconstruct full color representation of an image and/or modify its spatial resolution.
