Can we have a glossary?

KenMax

I am new to OAK and computer vision, one thing that would help is a glossary. I am trying to get my head around the documentation and it makes a lot of use of acronyms, IMU, ISP, FFC… I have no idea what most of these things are. Nor (it would seem) does Google! Or at least, none of the answers make sense (Inertial Measurement Unit, Internet Service Provider, Fulham Football Club). Searching the Luxonis site just finds more uses of the acronymns, but no definitions.

Surely I am not the only one struggling with acronymns?

Hi @KenMax

Thanks for the laugh 🙂

ISP = Image Signal Processor is used for bayer transformation, demosaicing, noise reduction, and other image enhancements. It interacts with the 3A algorithms: auto-focus, auto-exposure, and auto-white-balance, which are handling image sensor adjustments such as exposure time, sensitivity (ISO), and lens position (if the camera module has a motorized lens) at runtime.

FFC = Flat Flexible Cable (FFC) refers to any variety of electrical cable that is both flat and flexible, with flat solid conductors. A flexible flat cable is a type of flexible electronics.

I'll make a glossary.

Thanks,
Jaka

Here is a start "39 Computer Vision Terms You Should Know"

cycob Thanks, I shall bookmark that, though I have to admit that my main issue is with the use of acronyms. I am left guessing a lot of the time, which makes working through examples and code a much harder job than it would otherwise be. Maybe I need to start my own and glean what I can, from sources, such as the one you noted.

That would be brilliant. Thankyou.
