Key Features:
-
Modular Image Processing Pipeline
Select and sequence only the image processing blocks you need: debayering, tone mapping, denoising, sharpening, color correction, and more. -
OpenCL-Based Hardware Acceleration
Uses OpenCL for efficient parallel processing on GPUs, DSPs, and heterogeneous compute environments. -
GStreamer Integration
Provided as a GStreamer plugin for seamless integration with camera capture, video encoding, and streaming elements. -
Platform-Optimized Pipelines
Includes sample configurations for i.MX8, x86, and Qualcomm RB platforms—enabling rapid evaluation and deployment. -
Built for Production Systems
Designed for integration into robotics, automotive cameras, computer vision systems, and industrial inspection platforms.
Example Use Case:
A smart traffic monitoring system running on a Qualcomm RB5 platform captures raw MIPI camera input. Using RidgeRun’s GstISP, the pipeline performs debayering, denoising, and auto white balance using GPU acceleration via OpenCL to reduce the CPU Load. This results in real-time, high-quality video that is fed directly to an inference engine for vehicle detection—with reduced CPU load.
What’s Included:
-
GstISP GStreamer plugin
-
OpenCL-based image processing nodes
-
Example pipelines for NXP, Qualcomm, and x86 platforms
-
Developer documentation and integration guide
-
Optional 11-hour Embedded Software Support package
Supported Platforms:
-
NXP i.MX6 / i.MX8 (OpenCL)
-
Qualcomm RB5, RB6 (OpenCL)
-
x86-64 Linux (OpenCL)
-
Other OpenCL-enabled embedded systems
-
For NVIDIA Jetson, RidgeRun recommends CUDA ISP

Customer Reviews
"As a side note: just to let you know, I'm really happy to be working with RidgeRun in general. It's pretty clear that you tell it like you see it, and know what you do and don't know; it's really refreshing. That's super rare on these kinds of technical engagements when everyone seems to either want to claim expertise they don't have, or are so cautious they are don't actually say anything useful"
