As user I noticed some things I wanted to have on my camera, I hope anyone that has ideas can add them here. What features are you waiting for? What software components are still missing that you cannot live without?

Software

If a project has been completed just add the developer that did it, or is busy on it.

Sensor

• Dead/Hot pixel correction
• Fixed pattern noise (FPN) correction

Compass

• DONE Implement calibration

Networking

• DHCP (timeouted) and DNS-SD

Fastest Boot

• Fast Boot

C API

• C API

UDMA support

• Enable UDMA in the Axis kernel. Needed to support most fast CF cards, will also boost speed on SATA.

Debayer Algorithmn

• Higher image quality debayer algorithmn FPGA implementation -> VNG

Hardware

What will the next elphel camera most likely entitled Elphel 373 be like?

Power Supply

optional 12V supply over additional jack

Sensor

Interface

• group VLDS pairs in flexible cable from sensor to board

• 0.18 µm technology
• 28mm x 22.2 mm APS-C sized 1.8" image area (28.4 mm diagonal)
• 12 bit column ADC
• 10.4 fps in 12.4 MPix mode
• on-chip noise reduction
• parallel A/D for every pixel coloumn

CPU

• USB2.0 Support
