Machine Vision Bundle

The Arduino Portenta Vision Shield transforms your Arduino Portenta H7 into a versatile powerhouse for edge machine learning applications, offering the capability to develop solutions that recognize and respond to environmental stimuli. Imagine creating a system that sees and hears; the Vision Shield integrates a low-power camera and two microphones, enabling your projects to process visual and audio data without needing bulky, external sensors. Whether you are envisioning a smart security system that identifies and alerts you through vision and sound analysis, or a device that only activates when specific voices or noises are detected, this shield makes it possible.

The integration of the Vision Shield with the Portenta H7 brings seamless high-level functionality, thanks to its dual-core STM32H747 processor that effectively runs both Cortex® M7 and Cortex® M4 simultaneously. This design is like having two highly skilled chefs working side by side, each specializing in different cuisine and harmoniously communicating to deliver a perfect dish. Your applications can handle complex real-time tasks while running scripts in languages such as Arduino sketches, MicroPython, or JavaScript, and even leverage machine learning libraries like TensorFlow™ Lite.

Connectivity is made effortless with built-in wireless capabilities for managing WiFi and Bluetooth® connections. The high-sensitivity 324x324 pixel camera captures every detail, such as gestures or ambient light changes, while the onboard audio capabilities allow sound detection that adds another layer of interaction. These features ensure your projects are not just functionally rich but also robust and adaptable to various real-world needs.

Imagine deploying a digit recognition system that can read utility meter values in an industrial setting with ease and accuracy; this is no longer a concept, but a reality achievable with the Portenta H7 and Vision Shield. These components can be configured easily using documentation and community resources, ensuring that your innovative ideas are brought to life without hassle.
