Raspberry Pi Launches $70 AI Camera with Onboard Processing
The new AI Camera, developed with Sony, processes visual data directly on the device, compatible with all Raspberry Pi models.
- Raspberry Pi's AI Camera features Sony's 12.3-megapixel IMX500 sensor, enabling onboard AI image processing.
- The camera supports resolutions up to 4056 x 3040 at 10 fps or 2028 x 1520 at 30 fps, with manual focus and a 78-degree field of view.
- On-device processing reduces the need for additional GPUs or accelerators, freeing the Raspberry Pi for other tasks.
- The AI Camera is compatible with popular Raspberry Pi libraries like lib-camera and Picamera2, facilitating integration into existing projects.
- Priced at $70, the AI Camera is available globally and expected to ship starting mid-October, with applications ranging from robotics to industrial automation.
