For immediate releasee-con Systems’ new USB 3.0 CUDA® accelerated Stereo vision Camera
TARAXL - USB 3.0 Stereo vision camera based on OnSemi MT9V024 Global Shutter CMOS
sensor; this Stereo camera with a proprietary CUDA® accelerated Stereo SDK called TaraXL
SDK that runs on the NVIDIA® TX2 GPU provides depth mapping at 50 fps.
ST. LOUIS and CHENNAI, India – August 30, 2018 - e-con Systems Inc., a leading embeddedcamera solution company, today announced the launch of TaraXL, a USB 3.0 Stereo vision
camera. TaraXL is based on the 1/3-inch MT9V024, a WVGA Global shutter monochrome CMOS
image sensor from OnSemi™ powered by proprietary CUDA® accelerated stereo camera SDKfor NVIDIA® Tegra processors. This Stereo vision camera provides synchronized sensor frames
to the host machine over USB 3.0 interface.
TaraXL is bundled with a proprietary CUDA® accelerated Stereo SDK called TaraXL SDK thatruns on the GPU of NVIDIA® Tegra processors. The SDK can provide 3D Depth map for 752 X
480 @ 50 fps without stressing the CPU. The SDK supports two modes of operations, one is highaccuracy mode which supports depth mapping @ 25 fps and the high frame rate mode supports
depth mapping up to 50 fps. e-con Systems also provides sample applications with source code,demonstrating synchronous stereo image streams, disparity map and depth measurement.
Customers can build their depth sensing based applications on top of this SDK and with TaraXL
stereo cameras on NVIDIA Tegra platforms.

“TaraXL marks a significant milestone on e-con’s history, where e-con offers stereo camera
powered by highly-optimized CUDA accelerated stereo camera SDK for NVIDIA Tegra platforms.
The SDK enables customers to build 3d and depth-sensing applications directly on top of ourSDK, said Ashok Babu, President of e-con Systems Inc., “The TaraXL will be the right camera for
applications involving autonomous driving, robotics, drones and mixed reality applications”, headded.

TaraXL with a form factor 100 x 30 x 35mm consists of two OnSemi's 1/3 inch MT9V024 CMOS
image sensors separated by an 'inter-ocular distance' or 'base line' of 60 mm and pre-calibrated
lens pair mounted on S-Mount holder (Also known as M12 lens mount). The MT9V024 enhanced
NIR pixel process provides excellent image quality in IR illuminated applications also. With USB
3.0 interface to the host PC, TaraXL can stream uncompressed Stereo WVGA format (1504*480)
or in other words two WVGA (752x480) at 60 fps which are processed by TaraXL SDK inside theGPU of NVIDIA Tegra platforms to generate the depth map of the scene. And the otherresolutions supported are VGA (cropped) at 60 fps and QVGA (640*420) at 60 fps. The TaraXL isa UVC-compliant USB 3.0 Camera that is also backward compatible with USB2.0 host ports anddoes not require any special camera drivers to be installed.

TaraXL Disparity Map sample Images
TaraXL SDK is a software library with sample applications (TaraXL Studio) to aid in fasterdevelopment. TaraXL SDK is built ground up using CUDA API's developed by Nvidia. TaraXL SDK is
fully tested on Nvidia TX2 Linux platform, e-con plans to add other platforms shortly. TaraXL SDK isdesigned to be 5x times faster than the previous SDK for Tara. The TaraXL SDK provides- disparity and depth maps, Using these maps one can develop various applications forautonomous roving and other machine vision applications. TaraXL SDK natively comes with C++
bindings. Developers can use these bindings to build various wrappers such as for ROS (RobotOperating System) very easily.
