Understanding of difference between classes of algorithms and how to optimize their efficiency on available hardware engines
Understanding of the impact processing flow selection will have on overall system performance, power consumption and resource sharing by various algorithms.
Deep knowledge of sensors and camera technologies, including, image acquisition (sensor+lensing+ISP), rolling vs global, color vs monochrome, rectilinear vs equidistant and their impacts on algorithms, color management, performance optimization in low light conditions, etc.
Understanding of system resources supporting image collection and camera calibration in multi-camera systems and ability to define common system pre-processing blocks for camera streams.
