re:CCD / CMOS affordable camera kits???

My original thought was to read pixel values from a sensor with Bayer
filter. So I would end up reading a mosaic of green, red, blue pixels
and then complete the image on the FPGA board.


That's what I meant by raw data. I suppose this sounds like a useless
project since this function is usually done on the chip, unless it is
a 3 CCD camera.

I just thought this would be a great place to start getting up to
speed. I was looking for a development kit, where I can have a
sensor, lense and access to the pins, so that then I can capture
"raw" data with Spartan 3 board.


C328-7640 also sounds like an interesting solution with an UART
interface. It basically uses OV7640 Sensor and OV528 Compression
Engine that interfaces to UART.

However, I would like to capture the image directly from the sensor,
complete pixels (based on adjacent values), possibly compress it and
pass it to the PC via UART where it will be displayed. Spartan Board
has 1Mbyte of on board memory, so there is enough room to work on a
680x480 image.


Thank you, for all your help!
