USB camera to FPGA on CVS-1459RT

[ecoyaaj]

HI everybody and thank you for let me learn about this incredible software.

I´m already doing my final school project about to recognize:

- 3 different colors

- 3 different shapes

- 3 different measure.

All in 9 pieces (each piece has 1 color, shape an Measure).

Using a CVS-1459RT and camera Basler acA1300-30uc.

There is some way to connect or implement the usb3 camera to FPGA module? I mean the PFGA just acquire, then send to host the measures distances, read color and find the pattern. My idea to split the task in each part of CVS is:

FPGA --> Acquire image directly with no host intervention --> Send to host

HOST --> Find pattern, Measure distance, read color --> show in front Panel

You can't do FPGA acquisition on the CVS. You'll have to acquire on the RT side of things. You can pass the image down to the FPGA to do some of the processing but that may not save you any time. 

Also, the only bus that you can do FPGA acquisition on is camera link. And you can only do this if you are using FlexRIO or the camera link R series card.

Thanks for your answer.

There is some technical answer regardless the camera link? Could i create an interface between the COM USB and the FPGA?

Thanks again!

Why are you wanting to do FPGA acquisition? Regardless if done on the FPGA, you will still be limited by the throughput of the USB bus.
