Raspberry Pi and Sony release an AI-powered camera module

Monday September 30, 2024. 04:48 PM , from PC World
Raspberry Pi, in collaboration with Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation, just launched an AI-powered camera module called the Raspberry Pi AI Camera.

The module is based on Sony’s IMX500 image sensor with an integrated AI accelerator, which means it can do AI-based image processing directly on a Raspberry Pi device without any external processors.

The IMX500 image sensor is capable of 12MP images and has two modes: a larger 4056×3040 resolution at 10 FPS and a smaller 2028×1520 resolution at 30 FPS. The camera itself has a 78-degree field of view with a manually adjustable focus.

The Raspberry Pi AI Camera module is compatible with all Raspberry Pi models (including the Raspberry Pi Zero) via Raspberry Pi’s camera ribbon cable. You can buy it now for $70 at authorized retailers.

Note: If you have a Raspberry Pi 5, you should consider getting the Raspberry Pi AI Kit that was released back in June instead. (The AI Kit is more performant but only works with Raspberry Pi 5, whereas the AI Camera is smaller, cheaper, and more broadly compatible.)
