Camera Usage

Take an image using the camera

NavQPlus models typically ship with one Omnivision camera module which is either from Innowave or Google Coral Camera. 3rd parties may also have other cameras. An additional camera can also be added to the second MIPI port. Note that other USB or Ethernet cameras can also supply image data to the NavQPlus. Please refer to NXP.com documentation for i.MX 8M Plus for details on camera usage in LInux.

Video example using gstreamer

To take an image using an attached MIPI camera module on NavQPlus, use the gstreamer command. An example command is as follows:

sudo gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video3 num-buffers=1 ! jpegenc ! filesink location=capture1.jpeg
