Qcarcam Api Jun 2026
In latency-sensitive ADAS pipelines, moving data between memory buffers is a massive bottleneck. The QCarCam API heavily utilizes Direct Memory Access (DMA) and zero-copy techniques. Once the ISP processes a frame, the data remains in memory while being referenced by different processes (e.g., streaming to a display, encoding for a drive recorder, or feeding a neural network). This significantly reduces CPU overhead and end-to-end pipeline latency. 3. Direct Sensor Control
