Raspberry Pi and Sony have jointly developed a Raspberry Pi AI camera module that launches today for $70. It comes with built-in AI processing that can help Raspberry Pi users develop “advanced AI solutions that process visual data” with ease, according to the small computer manufacturer.
The new camera is based on Raspberry Pi’s plans to offer chips and add-ons for AI developers, having previously launched several non-AI camera modules since its first 5-megapixel offering in 2013.
A camera to maximize AI in very cheap systems
“AI-based image processing is becoming an attractive tool for developers around the world,” said Raspberry Pi CEO, Eben Upton, in a press release. “We are looking forward to seeing what our community members are able to achieve using the power of the Raspberry Pi AI camera.”
The AI camera is compatible with all Raspberry Pi single-board computers and combines the company’s RP2040 microcontroller chip with Sony’s IMX500 image sensor, the latter responsible for AI processing.
The combination eliminates the need for additional components such as accelerators or a graphics processing unit (GPU), which are usually necessary for camera modules to handle large-scale visual data.
The Raspberry Pi AI Camera, with 12.3 megapixels, can capture images at 10 frames per second in 4056 x 3040, or at 40 fps in 2028 x 1520. It also has a manually adjustable focus, a 76-degree field of view, and measures 25 x 24 x 11.9 mm, making it almost identical in size to the Camera Module 3 that Raspberry Pi released last year.
