[SOLVED] camera interfacing with fpga

[Robin Khosla]

i want to interface camera with virtex-7

1. which camera module is better and easy to interface
2. please refer any document with its pin description

This is a rather broad question. I ask:
1. What input format do you need (like NTSC, PAL, HDMI etc).
2. what are you actually trying to do?

 

[Robin Khosla]

any image format

i need to capture the image from the camera module and transfer it to fpga(virtex7)

how to do that in vhdl

 

[TrickyDicky]

Its not as simple as that.
1. What format is the camera in?
2. Is it an analogue or digital camera?
3. Are you connecting the camera direct to the FPGA or elsewhere? if a PC, what transfer protocol do you intend to use to transfer the data.

Your question is too broad. And its not as simple as you seem to think.

what i am asking is which digital camera module i need to use which can be easily implemented...

i want to directly connect the camera module with fpga (pc is not intended) and recieve the captured image into fpga ram


(black and white image may also work, if color image can be processed that will be a +)

A DVI camera will probably be easiest. You'll still need some IP to take the camera input and put it into memory, but DVI should be fairly straight forward to do this yourself.

If you're not already sold on the Virtex-7, you might want to consider a Digilent Atlys paired with a Digilent VModCam. Digilent provide a reference design, so it will be quicker to get started than if you have to design your own boards, and the academic price is pretty reasonable.

problem solved

Digilent virtex-5 board with VMOD CAM is best option
it works in real time even on colour images

Hello i am using analog ccd camera to capture image and video and then it will be converted in to digital form so can you say me how to interface camera and capture image or video

can you post code

 

[Robin Khosla]

which camera are you using?
and how you are converting the data digital, is it an external adc or inbuilt with camera?
the question you are asking is inappropriate, pls include some detail of components you are using, and what are you trying to do, then only someone can help..

i don't think you will get as it is code from somewhere, however digilent provides reference codes for the components they sell, so visit the digilent site to find some reference codes, and best option is to go with there VMOD CAM and there FPGA board.
