The invention discloses an embedded parallel multi-channel digital image acquisition system based on a GigE interface. The embedded parallel multi-channel digital image acquisition system comprises an industrial local area gigabit Ethernet, a camera based on a GigE interface, an industrial computer, and a digital image acquisition embedded device based on a GigE interface. The digital image acquisition embedded device based on a GigE interface is the core device of the system. According to the invention, embedded image multi-channel simultaneous acquisition based on a GigE interface can be realized, and advantages, such as high transmission rate, low image transmission distortion rate, convenient networking, convenient installation, convenient maintenance, etc., can be realized. The digital image acquisition embedded device based on a GigE interface is designed for specially acquiring GigE camera image data in a local area network. Embedded systems developed based on the invention can be widely applied in industrial production field monitoring based on machine vision.
