Embedded CMOS Cameras
The FSM Ecosystem consists of FRAMOS Sensor Modules, Adapters, Software and Sources, and provides a modular solution for the integration of Sony IMX series (and other) image sensors into embedded vision products. Please contact us for assistance in matching the right image sensor to your application. Since there is considerable overlap between the imagers used in our CMOS camera line and our Embedded Computer + Camera offering, users of our CMOS cameras will find a convenient migration path from a conventional USB3.0 camera system to an Embedded system.
These off-the-shelf sensor modules facilitate the process of evaluating the capabilities of Sony IMX CMOS imagers in a versatile adapter framework that interfaces to open processing platforms, like the NVIDIA Jetson TX2, AGX Xavier on Nano. These processing boards are not included in our offering, but may be purchased from a variety of sources.
To find the modular "kit" that matches the specific needs of an application, use either the clickable color-coded selection grid shown below or the selection table that appears just below it.

The selection grid shown above offers a convenient way in which to match a camera to the specific needs of an application. Cameras are offered in a variety of sensor size, frame rate, resolution, and pixel size to match the photonics and optics requirements of different applications.
- Each cell on the table represents a series that uses the same type of Image sensor: they have the same number of Megapixels and are based on the same Image Sensor Technology (the “photonics” of which are detailed via the color key).
- To initiate the selection process, click on a cell for which the desired number of Megapixels (column) and/or the Optical Format (row) match the requirements, while also reviewing the “photonics” characteristics of the Image Sensor Technology from the color key. A camera-specific page will open in a separate tab, keeping this page open for reference.
- Monochrome and RGB Color versions are offered for each type of Image Sensor. These spectral options are chosen in the next step.
