Summary:
-
Launch of AI Camera
Raspberry Pi has introduced the Raspberry Pi AI Camera, an innovative add-on that integrates on-board AI processing for vision-based applications, priced at $70. -
Technical Specifications
This new camera module features a Sony IMX500 image sensor combined with the RP2040 microcontroller chip, designed to capture images and process them using common neural network models. -
Efficiency in Processing
With on-board AI processing, the host Raspberry Pi remains free to handle other tasks, eliminating the need for a separate accelerator while managing visual data. -
Compatibility and Size
The AI Camera is compatible with all Raspberry Pi computers and maintains the same size as the existing Camera Module 3, though it is slightly thicker due to its optical sensor structure. -
Pre-Loaded Detection Model
The module comes pre-loaded with the MobileNet-SSD model, allowing for real-time object detection, making it a valuable tool for AI startups and hobbyists alike.
