Description
Overview
Arducam Pivariety is a Raspberry Pi camera solution to take the advantage of using its hardware ISP functions. For a long time, Raspberry Pi users are limited to use the closed-source official supported camera driver and camera modules (V1/V2/HQ). Now Arducam made it possible to provide well-tuned ISP for Pivariety camera modules with Auto Exposure, Auto White Balance, Lens Shading Correction, etc.
This B0333 is a new member of the Arducam Pivariety series, which adopts an IMX462 low light sensor and also supports hardware ISP functions like AEC/AGC, etc. That is to say, with this Pivariety, you can get much more decent image quality compared with the Official cameras under low light conditions.
Applications
- Surveillance cameras
- FA cameras
- Industrial cameras
- Autonomous mobile robots, UGV/UAV, ADAS, etc.
