First and foremost I would like to say I had never work with CMOS cam ever in my life, so any pointer hints or tutorial would be most welcome.
As per subject title, I have a project that needed me to transmit a video at maybe a min of
2 frames/second(fps). The video could be grayscale if its part of the limitation but I would definitely prefer it to be full colour but of cause subjected to the limitation of the CMOS cam itself.
My question are
"Is it plausible for an Arduino to parse the information from the CMOS cam and transmit it in real time?"
if possible,
"on the computer side, How do i receive this data that been transmitted and display on my laptop?..
"what kind of transmitter and receiver I should use?"
Thanks, I thought so too.. Is there any variation of Arduino or at least use the Arduino IDE to program that are capable of doing this?? Maybe a tennsy?
I guess I should give a full disclosure of the project I have in mind..
Basically I'm doing a Final Year Project (FYP) tittle Wireless Transmission Capsule Endoscopy. The final result of this project is to develop a camera that can transmit video data wirelessly in a size of a slightly large capsule. It has been done before so I know its a feasible project although the different is that its using a PIC.
My take on the project is that I would like to do the same thing by using any of the atmel product ARM, AtMega or even AtTiny family branch. Base on the previous project, a 2 frame per second feed give enough data to actually see detail. The size of the video does not have to be HD nor it must be coloured as long as the viewer can see the image clearly distinguish the outline of the intestinal track.The capsule could if needed have an onboard memory card to safe data. I just want to prove that the system work in other architecture.
if for instant using a microcontroller is a lost cause, could/would anyone suggest a way for this project to work.
Start with the theoretical power budget for lighting, imaging, processing and transmission then calculate the size of battery required, then see if any off the shelf processors can be used.
It has been done before so I know its a feasible project although the different is that its using a PIC.
There are many different types of Pic as there are many different Atmel products so there will be an equivalent processor amongst the two manufacturers. However a lot depends on the processor, transmitter and the camera.
As this is a final year project then you should be up for doing the research yourself instead of asking some one to do it for you.
You are right Grumpy_Mike. I would like/want the reader of this forum to point me to the right direction. The bulk of my project focus on a working prototype. Anyway I will update this forum about my choice hope you guys can help me in that.
@ Groove:
It took me a while to get what you mean.. and suddenly it hit me like a train.. I was laughing hysterically
