Marius, I'm sorry - I hit the wrong checkbox and blacklisted you  instead of white-listing. Fixed.

I'll reply shortly.

  Hi Andrey,
 Thank you for getting back to me!
 I'm trying to figure out what FPGAs and components I should get to build smart cameras that supports 1-4 x 1080P 60FPS (or better) low light (2+um pixel) sensors, for open source robotics and self driving car development.
 
 I understand these solutions may not be cheap or easy to approach, I'm trying to see what can be used best and relatively future proof as starting point for open source development in this area. OSSDC being a global community driven project, I'm also looking at affordable solutions that I can promote to be used for development and testing of SDC algorithms all around the world, as OSSDC target is global full autonomy (not only applicable in certain areas).
 Would be great if you could give me some ideas of what configurations I should try (my budget is very limited for now), and which IPs may help get started faster.
 I'll post soon more details about the OSSDC platform architecture and Smart Camera, here are some things we collected, more discussions happed on OSSDC Slack (ossdc.org):
     https://github.com/OSSDC/OSSDC-SmartCamera/issues/1
     https://medium.com/@mslavescu/what-about-putting-a-computer-vision-processor-on-the-camera-or-sensor-platform-itself-d0622b24f5c
 I'm also looking into HDMI capture solutions (for both cameras and gaming consoles/PCs):

     https://medium.com/@mslavescu/get-ready-to-race-ai-with-us-at-ossdc-org-b741e266e362
 
 I assume this is the 3D camera you mention, would be possible to use a different sensor to increase the frame rate and also is it possible to get uncompressed video to the PC (to do further processing on raw data using Nvidia GPUs):

 Stereo (multi) camera with dense depth maps would perfect for SDC, that what I think is necessary to achieve full autonomy at relatively low cost.
 
 Thank you,
 Marius
