Dual-sensor gimbal payload
- Customer
- Manufacturer of gimbaled dual-sensor cameras for commercial drones.
- Task
- Deliver two live camera streams from inside the gimbal head, where space and heat dissipation are limited.
- Solution
- UCM-iMX95 SoM connects to both sensors over MIPI-CSI, encodes each stream to H.264 / H.265 and sends it to the aircraft. Image analysis runs outside the payload.
Small UAV Integrated payload
- Customer
- Maker of small unmanned aircraft with in-house camera payloads.
- Task
- Move video compression off the on-board computer, which runs mission software and the datalink.
- Solution
- UCM-iMX8M-Plus SoM captures two cameras and encodes them in hardware. The on-board computer receives a compressed stream and handles all further processing.
Multi-platform payload
- Customer
- Camera payload maker supplying the same product to different vehicle integrators.
- Task
- Connect the same payload design to the on-board mission computer using different interfaces.
- Solution
- UCM-iMX8M-Plus SoM outputs the same encoded stream over USB 3.0 or Ethernet, so the payload connects to each vehicle without hardware changes.
NASA Perseverance · Mars, since February 2021
Compulab’s off-the-shelf System-on-Modules were used for data acquisition and storage in the NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover camera system. Our SOMs have travelled over 100 million miles and are operating on Mars in extreme conditions.
Tell us about your camera interfaces, required resolutions and frame rates, encoding formats, output connections, mechanical constraints and production plans. We will help identify the appropriate SOM platform and the integration questions to resolve during evaluation.
