The Development of CMOS Image Sensor Driver Program Based on OMAP3530

The image capture system is an important part of the intelligent instrument. To solve the problem of capturing high-resolution image with large amount of data, this design utilizes OMAP3530 with embedded Linux to drive MT9P031 CMOS sensor. It can successfully capture the real-time video and store the still image to the SD card, the user can adjust the exposure time and the gain of the pixel as well. The test shows that the system works well on real-time image capture situation, and it has been used in the project of 3D laser scanner, which can effectively reduce the whole system load with impressive high performance.
