Description
The OV9281 is an image sensor manufactured by OmniVision
Technologies. It is a 1/4-inch 1-megapixel global shutter sensor
with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels and a 3-micron pixel size
capable of operating at up to 60fps at 1MP (1280x800) resolution in
1-lane MIPI mode. The sensor is designed for applications requiring
fast image capture and low latency, such as gesture detection, head
and eye tracking, and any application for depth and motion
detection. It features an advanced image signal processor that
provides high-quality images in various lighting conditions.
Additionally, the OV9281 supports dynamic range and low-light
sensitivity, making it suitable for use in low-light environments.
The sensor is also designed to minimize power consumption and
reduce heat generation, making it an energy-efficient and reliable
imaging solution.
Features

FAQ
1. What is a camera module?
A camera module is a small electronic device that integrates the
components necessary for capturing images and videos. It consists
of a lens or lenses, a sensor for capturing light waves, and a
processor that converts the sensor's output into a digital image or
video.
2. How do camera modules work?
Camera modules work by using a lens to focus light onto a sensor
that converts the light waves into electrical signals. These
signals are then processed by a chip or processor and stored as a
digital image or video file.
3. What are the components of a camera module?
The components of a camera module typically include a lens or
lenses, a sensor, a chip or processor, and often a flash or other
light source. Some camera modules may also include a housing for
protection and mounting.
4. What are some common applications of camera modules?
Camera modules are used in a wide variety of applications,
including smartphones, digital cameras, surveillance systems,
medical devices, and automotive safety systems.
5. What factors should I consider when choosing a camera module?
When choosing a camera module, some important factors to consider
include image quality, resolution, sensor size, lens type, frame
rate, power consumption, and cost. Other factors may include size,
weight, and environmental conditions.
