To take advantage of the AI wave in June 2024 the Raspberry Pi organisation launched its Raspberry Pi AI Kit, a powerful piece of hardware capable of performing 13 trillion operations per second. However, this Kit needs the powerful Raspberry Pi 5 board plus a seperate camera module.
Now the Raspberry Pi organisation has launched a $70 Raspberry Pi AI Camera which is compatibile with older Raspberry Pi boards - including the Pi Zero - via a simple camera ribbon cable.
The AI Camera is built around a Sony IMX500 image sensor with an integrated AI accelerator. This chip runs a wide variety of popular neural network models, with low power consumption and low latency, leaving the Raspberry Pi processor free to perform other tasks.
Sony's suite of AI tools use existing neural network models including TensorFlow and PyTorch frameworks to to run efficiently on the AI Camera. And new models are able to take advantage of the AI accelerator power.
AI Camera highlights include:
• 12 MP Sony IMX500 Intelligent Vision Sensor (7.857mm)
• powerful built-in neural network accelerator
• 2028×1520 at 30fps or 4056×3040 at 10fps
• 1.55 μm × 1.55 μm pixel size
• 78-degree field of view
• integrated RP2040 Al accelerator using the I2C protocol
• 25mm × 24mm × 11.9mm dimensions
