The NVIDIA® Jetson Xavier NX™ Developer Kit is a power-efficient, compact module ideally suitable for AI edge applications and devices.
The additional benefits come from new cloud-native support that is accelerating the NVIDIA software stack in just 10 W with more than 10x the performance of its popular predecessor Jetson TX2.
To speed up the creation of breakthrough products, the Jetson Xavier NX Developer Kit delivers the capability to develop small form factor solutions with accurate, multi-modal AI inference.
The XIMEA team used the tools provided by the dev kit to test various cameras with the results listed below.
or second camera model version
Dragonfly application was designed by MRTech SK to receive RAW images from one or more USB3/PCIe cameras and stream the processed images via the network to a remote computer.
The application can run on NVIDIA Jetson modules, embedded or desktop computers with NVIDIA GPU.
The application is currently being used in several projects in aerial, ground drones, on vehicles, as well as in medical devices.
