AVS115D-Y 5M Industrial Vision GMSL Stereo Camera

Overview

The AVS115D‑Y is a 5‑megapixel GMSL stereo camera module designed for embodied intelligent robots, delivering accurate and reliable visual perception for autonomous robotic systems. Equipped with two high‑performance image sensors, it steadily outputs 5MP high‑definition images at up to 60fps. Leveraging Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) capability, the module accurately restores image details under high‑contrast lighting conditions such as backlight, low light and alternating strong light, effectively suppressing overexposure and motion blur to ensure stable performance of subsequent visual recognition and perception algorithms.

To tackle complex lighting challenges faced by robots, the module integrates a professional Image Signal Processor (ISP) for on‑camera image preprocessing. It supports stereo trigger synchronization, auto exposure time synchronization and other features for binocular vision applications. Furthermore, a built‑in 6‑axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) enables precise alignment between visual and IMU data via hardware time synchronization, supplying high‑quality multi‑modal fusion data for downstream algorithms.

In terms of interface, it adopts the GMSL (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link) serial interface. High‑bandwidth, low‑latency transmission up to 15 meters can be achieved over coaxial cables or shielded twisted pairs with outstanding electromagnetic interference resistance, simplifying complicated wiring inside robot heads.

On the software side, complete low‑level drivers and cross‑platform Software Development Kit (SDK) are provided. It is fully compatible with mainstream robotic computing platforms including x86 architecture (Intel) and ARM architecture (NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin/NX, Rockchip), accelerating the transition from prototype validation to mass production.

In summary, combining high‑resolution vision, ISP processing, multi‑modal perception and flexible deployment, the AVS115D‑Y serves as a forward‑looking and reliable solution for high‑precision vision applications such as humanoid robots, autonomous mobile robots (AMR/AGV) and industrial inspection.

Features

2.1. High‑Quality Imaging

➢ Supports image data transmission up to 60 frames per second.

➢ Hardware stereo frame synchronization. The left and right image sensors are driven by the same clock source to achieve pixel‑level exposure synchronization and guarantee timing consistency for stereo matching.

➢ Auto exposure time synchronization. The auto exposure adjustment of left and right sensors is strictly synchronized to maintain uniform brightness and contrast between stereo images.

➢ Built‑in high‑performance ISP for image data preprocessing.

➢ 102dB wide dynamic range, automatically adapting to high‑contrast scenarios including strong light, backlight and low light.

2.2. Multi‑Modal Fusion

➢ Built‑in 6‑axis IMU integrating accelerometer and gyroscope, providing critical inertial data supplement under vision‑degraded conditions such as fast rotation and texture‑less environments.

2.3. Interface and System Design

➢ Long‑distance GMSL transmission. High‑bandwidth, low‑latency transmission over 15 meters via coaxial cable or shielded twisted pair, suited for typical installation architecture where robot head is separated from main controller.

➢ Single cable for power and data. Video signal and power supply are transmitted through one coaxial cable, greatly simplifying wiring around mechanical joints and reducing cable wear risk.

2.4. Compatibility with Various Processing Platforms

➢ Driver interfaces available for mainstream platforms such as X86 and ARM; supports frameworks including V4L2 and ROS to reduce development effort and accelerate system integration & validation.
➢ SDK is provided to perform depth calculation on external host devices.

Typical Applications
