VEYE MV-MIPI-IMX178M module

Buy VEYE MV-MIPI-IMX178M camera for professional machine vision for your drone or robot

The VEYE MV-MIPI-IMX178M module is a high-sensitivity 6-megapixel monochrome camera for embedded systems. It is built on a Sony IMX178LLJ-C STARVIS sensor with a MIPI CSI-2 interface. The camera is specifically designed for machine vision tasks that require high detail and work in difficult lighting conditions. Thanks to its small size and rich functionality, this module is ideal for integration into drones, robotics and automation systems.

5 main advantages of the camera

• Highly sensitive Sony IMX178LLJ-C STARVIS sensor for clear images.
• 3088x2064 resolution and up to 40fps for detailed shots.
• Compact size 29x29x11mm and weight to fit on any drone.
• Wide temperature range from -30 to +60°C for operation in any conditions.
• Hardware and software trigger modes for precise synchronization with systems.

The Sony IMX178LLJ-C sensor converts light into a digital signal. Data is transmitted via the MIPI CSI-2 interface over two lines at a speed of 1.5 Gbit/s each. The camera supports three operating modes: video streaming, hardware and software trigger. Built-in image processing includes dead pixel correction, gamma correction, and a custom LUT. You get a flexible tool for vision systems and artificial intelligence.
