Introduction to Tara
-
See3CAM_Stereo
The Tara - See3CAM_Stereo, hereafter called as Tara, is a UVC compliant USB 3.0
SuperSpeed Stereo vision camera from e-con Systems, a leading embedded Product
Design Services company which specializes in the advanced camera solutions. Tara is
based on MT9V024 stereo sensor from ON Semiconductor and it supports a
maximum resolution of WVGA (2 x 752 x 480) at 60fps over USB 3.0 in
uncompressed format. Tara is the latest member of the Stereo Vision family of USB
3.0 SuperSpeed camera products launched by e-con Systems.
Tara is a monochrome camera with the S-mount (also known as M12 board lens)
lens holder and pre-calibrated lens pair. The S-mount is one of the most commonly
used small form-factor lens mounts for board cameras. Tara has two OnSemi's 1/3-
inch MT9V024 image sensors separated by an inter-ocular distance or base line of 60
mm. With USB 3.0 interface to the host PC, Tara can stream WVGA (2 x 752 x 480)
resolution at 60 fps, VGA (2 x 640 x 480) resolution at 60 fps and QVGA (2 x 320 x
240) resolution at 60 fps in uncompressed Y16 format. It also has ability to capture
still images. Tara is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 host ports and it does
not require any special camera drivers to be installed in the host PC. In USB 2.0, the
camera is capable of streaming WVGA (2 x 752 x 480) resolution at 30 fps, VGA (2 x
640 x 480) resolution at 30 fps and QVGA (2 x 320 x 240) resolution at 60 fps in
uncompressed Y16 format.
Tara camera houses LSM6DS0/LSM6DS33 (IMU unit) chip which is a 6dof (degree of
freedom) IMU unit featured with triaxial accelerometer and triaxial gyroscope and
supports different modes of configuration.
This document describes the detailed usage of LSM6DS0/LSM6DS33 integrated with
Tara and illustrates the sample IMU application provided in the Tara SDK package.
