5MP Autofocus Camera in a 1/4 Inch Module
     

Advasense has announced
what they claim is the world's smallest 5MP autofocus camera module. The
module, which was developed with the help of Creative Sensor
Inc., uses a technology called Feedback
Controlled Pixels (FCP) to reduce image lag and noise within the
tiny sensor. The new moduled, the ASIO 5, is
designed for mobile phones but looks ideal for robotics use. The sensor
provides a maximum resolution of 2592x1944 at 15 FPS, HD 1080p at 30
FPS, or 720p at 60 FPS. The output is Bayer RGB data (for the ASIO5) or
RGB and YUV (for the ASIO5I). Both MIPI and SMIA serial output is
provided as well as a parallel output and an I2C control interface. In
addition to autofocus, the module also provides built-in image
stabilization. For more details see the full
specification. No word on quantity or single unit pricing but most
mobile phone components are designed to be as inexpensive as possible.
