LinuxCon + CloudOpen + ELC-E Europe 2014

Building a low latency, high quality video pipeline in Linux requires the integration of several components that, in theory, should go together quickly and without much effort. Unfortunately, that is not always the case in the real world. In this talk, Sean Hudson will present a case study that outlines the work of building such a pipeline on an quad-core i.MX6 using V4L drivers and GStreamer plugins. During the talk, he will discuss the design decisions and tradeoffs made. He will discuss the impact that available hardware resources and sensor selection had on the project. Also, he will describe the tools used to identify areas for improvement. Throughout, he will highlight both the things that worked well and the things that didn't.
