Low-latency camera for Jetson TX2

Hi Everyone,

just to add to this thread as I just couldn’t figure this out (and I looked through all threads and talked to various camera vendors):

We want to add probably 3 cameras to our jetson tx 2 board. That board is on a mobile robot that I then want to remotely control via a wireless network based on camera images. For that to work I need very low latency in the camera capture stack (in parallel I’m working on some optimization in the networking…)

Does anybody have any recommendations for the camera setup?

Requirements:

  • Very low latency, needs to include encoding so we can stream it via wireless networks. (target around 10-40 ms if possible prior of sending it over network)
    → so likely high fps desirable (I guess 60 fps or even higher)
  • Wide angular field of view of combined cameras (~ 210 degrees).
  • VGA resolution sufficient, 720p is nice to have. Ideally adjustable for testing.

So far I looked at for example the following two (but didn’t find any confirmed latency numbers…)

Do you have any recommendations/thoughts? Thanks so much!!
