Advanced Image Sensor Interface Documentation (v2.0.0)

Welcome to the Advanced Image Sensor Interface documentation! This is a comprehensive Python framework for camera interface protocols with advanced image processing, multi-sensor synchronization, and professional-grade calibration capabilities.

Overview

The Advanced Image Sensor Interface provides:

• Multi-Protocol Support: MIPI CSI-2, CoaXPress, GigE Vision, and USB3 Vision protocols

• Advanced Image Processing: HDR processing, RAW image pipeline, and GPU acceleration

• Multi-Sensor Synchronization: Hardware and software synchronization with sub-millisecond accuracy

• Professional Calibration: Comprehensive camera calibration with distortion correction

• Enhanced Buffer Management: Asynchronous buffer operations with intelligent memory pooling

• Power Management: Advanced power states and thermal management

• Comprehensive Testing: 200+ unit tests with extensive protocol and integration testing

• Production-Ready: 100% linting compliance and robust CI/CD pipeline

Quick Start

Install the package:

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .

Basic usage:

from advanced_image_sensor_interface import MIPIDriver, MIPIConfig

# Initialize MIPI driver
config = MIPIConfig(lanes=4, data_rate=2.5, channel=0)
driver = MIPIDriver(config)

# Get status
status = driver.get_status()
print(f"Driver status: {status}")
