Raspberry Pi AI Camera – IMX500 12MP Intelligent Vision Sensor

Description

Introducing the groundbreaking Raspberry Pi AI camera module, powered by the advanced Sony IMX500 Intelligent Vision Sensor. This innovative camera module is designed to elevate your AI vision projects to new heights by offering on-board AI inferencing capability, and it comes preloaded with a MobileNet model.

The AI Camera transparently augments captured still images or video with tensor metadata, leaving the processor in the host Raspberry Pi free to perform other operations. Support for tensor metadata in the libcamera and Picamera2 libraries, and the rpicam-apps application suite, make it easy for beginners to use while offering advanced users unparalleled power and flexibility.

The Raspberry Pi AI camera module is a game-changer for AI enthusiasts and developers. Its powerful features and intuitive design make it the ideal choice for a wide range of applications, including:

• Computer Vision: Object detection, image classification, and more.
• Robotics: Autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance.
• Surveillance: Real-time monitoring and analysis.
• IoT: Smart home applications and industrial automation.

With the Raspberry Pi AI camera module, you can easily bring your AI projects to life. Its powerful features and intuitive design make it the perfect tool for developers of all levels.
