Imaging & Machine Vision Europe sat down with Laurent Pinchart, Founder of Ideas on Board, to discuss Khronos’ efforts in embedded vision and specifically Kamaros. The Kamaros Working Group was founded in March 2022 to focus on the development of an open, cross-vendor standard for camera, sensor, and ISP control.

In this Embedded Computing article are the latest updates on industry open standards for accelerated vision processing and inferencing, and insights into the goals and design directions of the new Kamaros embedded camera API standard.

Khronos Group President, Neil Trevett, gave a keynote speech at inVISION on November 29th focusing on vision standards & the new Kamaros embedded camera API standard. The video from the keynote is now available (free registration required).

Khronos has officially adopted ‘Kamaros’ (pronounced Kam-ă-ross) as the name for the Embedded Camera System API and the associated working group. Jointly promoted by Khronos and the European Machine Vision Association (EMVA), the Kamaros API Working Group is developing an open, royalty-free standard for controlling camera system runtimes in embedded, mobile, industrial, XR, automotive, and scientific markets.
