The Raspberry Pi AI Camera is a groundbreaking device that brings the power of artificial intelligence to the edge, allowing users to perform real-time inferencing and advanced image processing directly on the device. This camera module is designed to be an accessible and cost-effective solution for developers, hobbyists, and educators who want to integrate AI into their Raspberry Pi projects.
At the core of the Raspberry Pi AI Camera is the Sony IMX500 Intelligent Vision Sensor, which combines a 12.3-megapixel CMOS image sensor with an on-board inferencing accelerator. This unique combination enables the camera to handle a variety of neural network models for tasks such as object detection, tracking, and pose estimation, all without the need for a separate accelerator .
The camera's specifications are impressive: it can capture images at a resolution of 4056×3040 pixels and offers framerates of up to 30fps in 2×2 binned mode and 10fps at full resolution. The sensor size is 7.857 mm, with a pixel size of 1.55 μm×1.55 μm, providing a wide field of view of 78.3 degrees .
