Design of image acquisition and storage system based on ARM and embedded

Traditional image acquisition system has the faults of complex, bulky and inconvenient to carry. The embedded image processing system integrates all the functions of image capturing, displaying and processing as well as takes the advantages of small size and low power consumption. According to the need of modern security monitoring system, a kind of image acquisition system based on ARM and Linux was designed. The system takes S3C2410(ARM9) as the core to construct the image acquisition and processing system with USB camera, monitor and memory, and builds necessary peripherals and communication interfaces to complete the design of the hardware platform. Then drivers were composed and embedded Linux operating system was transplanted, eventually the functions of image data collection, display and storage were realized. The test results show that images acquisition were clear and the system turns out to meet the requirement.
