Challenge 2 – MAX IV
How can a next-generation high-resolution, high-frame-rate CMOS imaging system with FPGA-based readout be developed to achieve ≥20 Gpix/s continuous streaming for real-time tomographic acquisition?

Requirements:
·      2.5k resolution tomogram within 1 second
·      ≥20 Gpix/s continuous data throughput
·      100 kHz frame rate, multi-megapixel sensor
·      Full integration with MAX IV DAQ
·      Real-time data transfer and online processing

Key challenges:
·      No commercially available CMOS sensor currently meets specifications
·      No continuous-readout cameras available above ~8 Gpix/s
·      Advanced FPGA-based architecture required

Background:
Data storage capacity is sufficient. The main bottlenecks are sensor availability and real-time high-speed readout.
