The Leopard Imaging Camera is a wide-angle camera module with a 136° field of view (FOV), making it an ideal choice for machine vision applications. Specifically designed for compatibility with the NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit, this camera features a Sony IMX219 8.08MP color sensor, a fixed focus (M8) lens, and a CSI-2 MIPI 2-lane data output interface. The module measures 150mm in length and 25mm in width. Please note that Sparkfun has not yet confirmed the compatibility of this camera with Raspberry Pi due to firmware restrictions.
This camera is part of the SparkFun Jetbot v2.1 Kit. It's a versatile tool that can be used for a range of applications. For instance, it can be utilized in robotics for object detection and avoidance, or in surveillance systems for wide area monitoring. Its wide field of view and high resolution sensor make it capable of capturing detailed images over large areas, reducing the number of cameras needed in a system.
The Leopard Imaging Camera boasts several unique features. Its Sony IMX219 8.08MP color sensor provides high-quality images, while the fixed focus (M8) lens ensures clear and sharp picture quality. The camera's data output is facilitated by a CSI-2 MIPI 2-lane interface, and it also includes an IR Cutter Filter. The camera module also has an impressive focusing range, from 30cm to infinity.
The package includes a v1.4 camera module with an attached ribbon cable, all carefully packed in ESD packaging for safe transportation. The product also comes with a datasheet that provides detailed information about its features and specifications.
