## Description

This compact AI camera module brings on-board vision inferencing to Raspberry Pi projects using the Sony IMX500 Intelligent Vision Sensor. It combines a 12.3-megapixel CMOS image sensor with integrated AI processing, enabling real-time visual data processing without a separate AI accelerator.It is suited to applications such as object recognition, facial detection, security systems, smart robotics and environmental monitoring. The wide field of view and high-resolution imaging make it useful anywhere you need image capture and machine-learning output from a small Raspberry Pi-compatible module.The camera works with the Raspberry Pi software stack, including libcamera and Picamera2, and supports tensor metadata output for more advanced image-processing workflows. It also provides flexible image outputs including Bayer RAW10, YUV/RGB ISP output, ROI and metadata.The shipping list includes one Raspberry Pi AI Camera.Features:Powerful vision AI processing: Integrated AI processor accelerates machine-learning tasks directly on the camera module.No external AI accelerator required: Enables AI-powered applications such as real-time image classification or facial recognition with simplified hardware.High-resolution imaging: 12.3-megapixel resolution with a wide field of view for high-quality images and video.Raspberry Pi ecosystem integration: Compatible with all Raspberry Pi computers and the Raspberry Pi software stack.Library support: Designed for use with libcamera and Picamera2.Flexible output and metadata support: Supports Bayer RAW10, YUV/RGB ISP outputs, ROI and metadata.Specifications:Sensor: Sony IMX500 Intelligent Vision SensorResolution: 12.3 megapixelsSensor Size: 7.857 mm (1/2.3” type)Pixel Size: 1.55 µm x 1.55 µmImage Dimensions: 4056 x 3040 pixels (horizontal/vertical)IR Cut Filter: IntegratedAutofocus System: Manual adjustable focusFocus Range: 20 cm to infinityFocal Length: 4.74 mmHorizontal Field of View: 66° ±3°Vertical Field of View: 52.3° ±3°F-stop: f/1.79Infrared Sensitivity: NoImage Output: Bayer RAW10Image Output: ISP output (YUV/RGB)Image Output: ROIImage Output: MetadataTensor Input Size: Max. 640 x 640 (H x V)Data Type: int8 or uint8Memory: 8,388,480 bytes (firmware, network weights, and working memory)Framerate: 2x2 binned: 2028 x 1520 10-bit @ 30fpsFramerate: Full resolution: 4056 x 3040 10-bit @ 10fpsDimensions: 25 mm x 24 mm x 11.9 mmCable Length: 200 mmCable Connector: 15 x 1 mm FPC or 22 x 0.5 mm FPCOperating Temperature: 0°C to 50°CA strong choice for makers and developers building Raspberry Pi vision AI projects, from smart cameras to robotics and monitoring systems.
