In summary, major trends in the surveillance camera are the conversion from analog to digital and from standard definition (SD) to high definition (HD), with the adoption of wide dynamic range (WDR) CMOS image sensors. WDR sensors are emerging in the surveillance and automotive markets because of the ability to reproduce images much like a person’s eye would see. These sensors are able to capture and output images that contain details in the darkest of shadows along with the details in the brightest sunlight. Intel's® vision is with the FPGA at the heart of a single-chip surveillance camera system. In a surveillance camera, the FPGA can handle the sensor interface, the ISP, the image processing for WDR CMOS sensors, optimized motor control for pan and tilt, on-chip video compression, scaling, analytics, Ethernet controllers and etc. and the ability to connect to off-chip encoders or PHY devices.
