The Raspberry Pi AI Camera is a compact and powerful module designed for advanced vision-based AI applications. Featuring the Sony IMX500 Intelligent Vision Sensor, it combines a 12.3-megapixel CMOS sensor with on-board inferencing capabilities, enabling real-time processing of visual data without the need for an external AI accelerator. This makes it ideal for tasks like object recognition and facial detection. Fully compatible with all Raspberry Pi computers, it integrates easily with existing camera software and supports tensor metadata output for advanced image processing. The camera is designed to be user-friendly with libraries like libcamera and Picamera2, providing flexibility for both beginners and advanced users.
Powerful Vision AI Processing
The IMX500 sensor is built with an integrated AI processor that accelerates machine learning tasks directly on the camera module. This eliminates the need for additional hardware accelerators, simplifying the development of AI-powered applications such as real-time image classification or facial recognition.
High-Resolution Imaging
With a 12.3-megapixel resolution and a wide field of view, the camera captures high-quality images and video, suitable for a variety of applications including security monitoring, robotics, and environmental sensing.
Seamless Integration with Raspberry Pi Ecosystem
Fully compatible with all Raspberry Pi computers, the camera integrates effortlessly with the Raspberry Pi software stack, including Picamera2 and libcamera libraries. This makes it easy to implement complex AI vision projects with minimal setup.
Flexible Output and Metadata Support
The camera supports a range of outputs, including Bayer RAW10, YUV/RGB ISP outputs, and metadata. This flexibility provides users with the ability to work with a wide array of image formats and process additional data like region-of-interest (ROI) for advanced applications.
