hello sir, I have ARM LPC2478 processor and want to interface a ccd camera with it. My purpose is to take live feed from this camera and create a camouflage effect on a spy robot i am making. For this purpose i am using a 3 mega pixel ccd camera with resolution 600x480 and a TFT with the same resolution. what i need to know is how m i going to interface this camera with LPC2478( i wish to use the i2c protocol! is it feasible?) Waiting for your suggestions
"Waiting for your suggestions"
Don't just sit there waiting; get out the datasheets - and other supporting materials - and get studying them:

Hint: there's a thing called "google" which is great for finding such materials. You may also find that your school has a "library" with useful information...
But a problem is if the "library" is compatible or if the student will get a link error when trying to assimilate the information.
This was really helpful sir ! Thanks a ton And about the thing called "google" if i didnt knew about it you wouldnt have had a chance to reply to my question and about the so called library if wanted to ponder through the books i would never had taken which i considered as "useful and appropriate" direction of you people! Still thanks a ton
Some how I'd imagine your unspecified CCD camera only configures via I2C (horizontal, vertical, etc), and the data goes over a much high bandwidth connection.
The resolution is also going to generate a lot of data.
A 3 megapixel camera with 600x480 resolution?
If monochrome, then it would have 288k pixels. If RGB then it would have 864k pixels. So not near 3MP.
Anyway - 864k pixels and 8-bit color resolution means 864kByte for each frame or 6.9Mbit. An 1Mbit/s interface would need 7 seconds to transfer one image assuming almost no overhead.
