In comparison, a USB camera uses a USB interface for data transfer. A deeper look at MIPI and USB interfacesĪ MIPI camera is nothing but a camera module or system that uses a MIPI interface to transfer images from the camera to the host platform. In this article, we look at both interfaces in detail to better understand their capabilities and limitations. The selection of a best-fit interface depends on many factors like frame rate/bandwidth requirements, resolution, data transfer reliability, cable length, complexity, and – of course – the overall cost. However, despite the technological advancements, MIPI and USB interfaces have remained the two most popular types for a majority of embedded vision applications. With each phase of its evolution, embedded vision has ensured a significant growth in the number of camera interfaces available to choose from. Over the past few years, embedded vision has evolved from a buzzword to a widely adopted technology used across industrial, medical, retail, entertainment, and farming sectors.
