Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic

Arthur C. Clarke's Third Law

Intelligent Components by VRmagic run fully autonomously on a Linux operating system. Image processing tasks − such as decisions on position, completeness or quality − are performed directly in the camera. Developers can transfer their own algorithms to the camera conveniently by means of a cross-compiler. Host system and camera have the same API.

Intelligent components feature a 300 MHz ARM9 processor running Debian Linux as standard operating system and a 600 MHz DSP with 4800 MIPs. The components are equipped with 128 MB RAM and a 512 MB flash module – both can be extended. A high level of data security is guaranteed by a stable and fast file system (UBIFS).
