Cameras & Camera Modules 12MP Sony IMX500 Intelligent Vision Sensor 76-degree
Raspberry Pi AI Camera is based on the Sony IMX500 Intelligent Vision Sensor. The IMX500 sensor combines a 12-megapixel CMOS image sensor with onboard inferencing acceleration for a variety of common neural network models, enabling users to develop sophisticated vision-based AI applications without the need for a separate accelerator. The AI Camera transparently augments captured still images or video with tensor metadata, leaving the processor in the host Raspberry Pi free to perform other operations. Support for tensor metadata in the lib-camera, Picamera2 libraries, and the price-apps application suite makes it easy for beginners to use while offering advanced users unparalleled power and flexibility. The Raspberry Pi AI Camera is compatible with all Raspberry Pi computers. The PCB outline and mounting hole locations are identical to those of Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3, while the overall depth is greater to accommodate the larger IMX500 sensor and optical subassembly.
