How to enable Multi-Sensor Synchronization on NVIDIA Jetson Orin using Hardware Timestamping

Prabu KumarOctober 15, 20260

Embedded vision systems rely on data from multiple sensors, including cameras, LiDAR, and IMUs, to accurately perceive their surroundings. For reliable sensor fusion, all sensor data must be precisely synchronized. However, conventional software timestamps are affected by system-level delays, making accurate time alignment difficult. Hardware timestamping addresses this challenge by...
