Development of a Cost-Efficient Video Acquisition System for Medical Applications Using a Dual-Core Cortex-M Microcontroller. Trabajo de obtención de grado, Especialidad en Sistemas Embebidos. Tlaquepaque, Jalisco: ITESO.https://hdl.handle.net/11117/10265Video acquisition systems, consisting of video capture, encoding, transmission and display, are widely used in medical applications. However, current systems present challenges such as higher costs, power consumption, and reduced availability. Therefore, this paper proposes a video acquisition system using a dual-core Cortex-M microcontroller. Tests showed the system is suitable for video acquisition, processing, and display. The storage component presented limitations, by only achieving the correct saving of 32.36 % of the acquired video. Finally, it is shown that a Dual-Core Cortex-M microcontroller could be used for low-cost medical applications that do not require high quality video storage.engVideo Acquisition SystemMedical ApplicationMicrocontrollerDual-Core Cortexinfo:eu-repo/semantics/academicSpecialization
