A Reconfigurable High-Res Network Camera

Posted by michael on from the peeping-tom dept.

An anonymous reader writes "This technical article describes the architecture and design philosophy behind the Elphel Model 313, an intelligent 1.3 megapixel network camera that delivers full-sized images at up to 15 frames per second. The design of the Model 313, which has an embedded Linux computer based on an Axis ETRAX 100LX RISC processor, makes use of a reconfigurable Xilinx FPGA for much of the camera's internal control logic. Because both the embedded software and FPGA hardware algorithms are released as open source technologies, developers can readily customize the Model 313's operation to meet specialized requirements."

    See, this is why modding down "trolls" is bad too.

    Sure, hasnoi was repeating oft-heard themes. Did his comment ruin anyone's day? No, and it's funnier than most of the (Score:5, funny) crap on /.

    Somedays I wish I could serve it to all the idiot mods out there. Metamod doesn't give me nearly the outlet I desire.

    Yes, posting at +2. Maybe that way someone will actually see my comment. If they pageview in the next two minutes.
