Jetson TX1 can be interfaced with USB cameras or CSI cameras. The development board comes with one camera of 5 MP already interfaced with Jetson TX1. This camera can be used to capture video just like a webcam on a laptop. Camera interfacing is an important feature that makes the Jetson TX1 development board useful in real-time situations. It supports up to six-lane cameras. The detailed list of cameras supported by Jetson TX1 can be found at the following link: https://elinux.org/Jetson_TX1 .
This section will demonstrate the procedure to capture videos using a camera interfaced with Jetson TX1 and how these videos can be used to develop computer vision applications, like face detection and background subtraction.
