I am embarking on a long journey, in attempting to create a fully fledged imaging system from already existing parts. I've been disassembling cameras, researching, and tinkering for several months now, and i'm running into a heck of a problem.
How would you go about getting and organizing the raw data from a CMOS image sensor??
Image processing is a daunting thing to get into, but is an image processor at its core really just a microcontroller with an algorithm programmed in?
Thank you!! I know the community is very knowledgeable here, hoping for some input.
