Camera 2.0 Open-Source Digital Camera Project
![](http://graphics.stanford.edu/projects/camera-2.0/images/frankencamera-2.0-2-sshbal.jpg)
This open-source project is being developed to help researcher gain more control of camera processing. Another open-source camera project, the Canon Hack Development Kit, allows some control through a series of enhancements, but according to the Frankencamera FAQ: "you can't use them to reprogram the camera's pre-capture sequence (metering and focusing) or to replace its post-processing algorithms (demosaicing, denoising, sharpening, white balancing, tone mapping, etc). The Frankencamera fills this gap"
The brains of the Frankencamera include a TI OMAP3 processor, an Aptina MT9P031 image sensor and an Elphel 10338 sensor board.
If the popularity of the CHDK is any indication, the Frankencamera is sure to have a cult following.
