HDR ISP Pipeline Reference Design

The pre-loaded demo bitstream contains a fully functional HDR ISP Pipeline with the following IP blocks:

Please cklick on the IP Blocks, to learn more.

The image above demonstrade the signal path of the HDR-60 camera development kit. This imaging pipeline is the integrated demo-pipe, that is already implemented by purchasing this evaluation product.

This, coupled with the facts that the ISP pipeline needs no external frame buffer and the low power consumption of the Lattice ECP3 FPGAs makes cameras based on the HDR-60 extremely low cost to build and operate. 

The hardware supports up to 16-megapixel sensors, can support up to 2 sensors simultaneously and is easily programmable via standard low-cost USB cable.

IONOS Image Signal Processing IP

Helion offers a comprehensive selection of video pipelines, ranging from basic to advanced monochrome and color pipelines, all the way through high resolution advanced High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRI) color pipelines. Depending on the pipeline selected, it will consist of a number of individual video processing IP cores, such as defective pixel correction, logic-efficient 3 x 3 De-Bayering, high quality 5 x 5 De-Bayering, color-correction matrix, gamma correction, auto-exposure, auto-white balance and more. These cores also support Lattice FPGA devices, and are all compatible and simply connected with the Wishbone bus.

Comprehensive IP Library

Helion is providing a comprehensive intellectual property (IP) library. Containing more than 90 individual pieces of IP, the library is available for licensing either entirely or in parts. Developed by Helion, the library provides complete sensor to display ISP support.

Extremely wide 120dB HDR IP ensures that no detail in dark areas is lost even when an intruder shines a flashlight directly into the camera lens, while HDR, working in close conjunction with fast-auto-exposure rapidly adjusts exposure in changing light conditions to offer a system dynamic range of a whopping 192dB.
