Adafruit Raspberry Pi AI Camera with Sony IMX500

The Raspberry Pi AI Camera is a revolutionary compact camera module equipped with the Sony IMX500 Intelligent Vision Sensor. The sensor combines a 12-megapixel CMOS image sensor with built-in inferencing acceleration, facilitating the development of advanced vision-based AI applications without needing a separate accelerator.

With the ability to enhance captured images or video with tensor metadata, it efficiently offloads processing tasks, leaving your Raspberry Pi's processor free to tackle other operations. The camera is seamlessly integrated with the libcamera and Picamera2 libraries, as well as the rpicam-apps application suite, delivering ease of use for beginners and exceptional power for advanced users.

The Raspberry Pi AI Camera features a 76-degree field of view and manually adjustable focus, ensuring clear, precise imaging. It is compatible with all Raspberry Pi models and maintains the same PCB outline and mounting hole positions as the Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3, offering straightforward installation.

The camera module comes pre-loaded with the MobileNet SSD object detection model and supports the import of custom models from TensorFlow and PyTorch, ensuring flexibility for a variety of projects. Supplied with 200mm cables, it connects effortlessly to your Raspberry Pi, opening the door to innovative AI endeavors with unmatched ease.
