Eyesight tech specs? Dashcam?

Does anyone know the actual technical specifications of the eyesight cameras, such as resolution, frame rate, bit rate, data recording, color response / number of color channels ("color" includes infrared)?

Also, is there some obvious reason why the Eyesight system would not be suitable for a Subaru option to allow it to also be used as a recording dashcam?

Thanks. But, although the data used for the stereoscopy is likely like "wireframe," it's extremely likely that the actual camera sensor is an off-the-shelf sensor, much like you would find in a consumer camera. The camera body probably incorporates a custom chip computer that does the preprocessing to convert the images to the "wireframe" form that is useful for further processing; in fact the assembly probably contains a custom stereoscopy chip. Just the same, I'm asking about the camera, which would be the sensor and its output, prior to further processing.

It's possible that all that is incorporated on-chip with the sensor, but that is unlikely because it would be more expensive and less flexible for future upgrades.

Here's a powerpoint presentation that shows engineering images from Eyesight. It obviously uses a standard camera, and in addition it's a CMOS sensor: http://vasite.org/images/meeting/062415/subaru_next_generation_eyesight_and_future_strategy.pdf

Just relaying what was in that thread. I wanted to get a link for you, but was having trouble finding that conversation.
