Raspberry Pi and Sony have co-developed a Raspberry Pi AI Camera module<\/a> that\u2019s launching today for $70. It comes with onboard AI processing that can help Raspberry Pi users develop \u201cedge AI solutions that process visual data\u201d with ease, according to the tiny computer maker.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The AI camera is compatible with all Raspberry Pi single-board computers, and pairs the company\u2019s RP2040 microcontroller chip<\/a> with Sony\u2019s IMX500 image sensor \u2014 the latter of which handles AI processing. The combination eliminates the need for additional components like accelerators or a graphics processing unit (GPU), which are typically required for camera modules to handle large-scale visual data.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The 12.3 megapixel Raspberry Pi AI Camera can capture footage at either 10 frames per second in 4056 x 3040, or 40fps at 2028 x 1520. It also has a manually adjustable focus, a 76-degree field of view, and measures 25 x 24 x 11.9mm \u2014 making it almost identical in size to the Camera Module 3<\/a> that Raspberry Pi released last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
