Raspberry Pi and Sony have co-developed a Raspberry Pi AI Digicam module that is launching in the present day for $70. It comes with onboard AI processing that may assist Raspberry Pi customers develop “edge AI options that course of visible information” with ease, in keeping with the tiny pc maker.
The AI digital camera is appropriate with all Raspberry Pi single-board computer systems, and pairs the corporate’s RP2040 microcontroller chip with Sony’s IMX500 picture sensor — the latter of which handles AI processing. The mix eliminates the necessity for added parts like accelerators or a graphics processing unit (GPU), that are usually required for digital camera modules to deal with large-scale visible information.
The 12.3 megapixel Raspberry Pi AI Digicam can seize footage at both 10 frames per second in 4056 x 3040, or 40fps at 2028 x 1520. It additionally has a manually adjustable focus, a 76-degree area of view, and measures 25 x 24 x 11.9mm — making it nearly equivalent in measurement to the Digicam Module 3 that Raspberry Pi launched final 12 months.
