Gidel 2025 Milestones
Gidel’s 2025 milestones spanned FPGA imaging, Edge AI vision, high-resolution acquisition, low-latency processing, and real-time compression. The year also brought industry recognition and global expansion. During the year, Gidel launched three new FantoVision systems, advanced FPGA processing for high-resolution imaging, and earned recognition for Quality+ Compression.
1. Three New FPGA Edge AI Vision Systems
We launched the new FantoVision series, delivering interface-specific optimization for developers requiring peak performance and determinism:
- FantoVision40-CXP12: Mini Ruggedized NVIDIA Jetson + Quad PoCXP-12 links, providing up to 50 Gb/s aggregate interface bandwidth, with an Altera FPGA frame grabber.
- FantoVision20-GigE: Mini Ruggedized NVIDIA Jetson + Dual 10 GigE Vision, providing up to 20 Gb/s aggregate interface bandwidth, with an Altera FPGA frame grabber.
- FantoVision20-CL: Mini Ruggedized NVIDIA Jetson + 80-bit Deca Camera Link, providing up to 6.8 Gb/s interface bandwidth, with an Altera FPGA frame grabber.
Engineers comparing camera interfaces can also review Gidel’s guides to CoaXPress cameras, GigE Vision cameras, and Camera Link cameras. The guides cover bandwidth, link configuration, cabling, synchronization, and acquisition considerations.
2. Mastering High-Resolution Acquisition & Low-Latency Imaging
We released comprehensive solutions to tackle the toughest environmental and timing challenges:
- High-Resolution Outdoor Imaging: In partnership with illunis, we implemented real-time FPGA preprocessing (HDR, white balance, dynamic luminance balance) and on-the-fly 10× compression directly at the edge. This architecture managed massive 103 MP data streams with zero frame loss, reducing mission storage needs from 12 TB to 1.2 TB.
- Adding System Performance Without Adding Latency: We optimized the imaging pipeline by offloading heavy computational tasks directly to the FPGA. These included demosaicing, HDR correction, compression, protocol parsing, and binning. This leaves the CPU available for higher-level decision logic while maintaining deterministic low latency and throughput exceeding 1 gigapixel per second.
3. Industry Recognition & Expansion
- Top Innovation Award: Our Quality+ Compression technology was honored with the inVISION Award 2025 for its ability to deliver Alternative Lossless Compression with uncompromised real-time image quality at compression ratios of 10:1 or higher.
- Strategic Partnership: We signed a new exhibitor agreement with 1stVision in the US to expand our reach in the vision and imaging market, while celebrating five years of collaboration with Viewsitec.
