Arducam IMX477 on Raspberry Pi: the need for lighter weight and smaller size We have released two different products to meet the diverse needs of our customers. However, as more people got their hands on our camera module, the needs of users got refined over time. One of our users Read more…
Many people perform computer and machine vision tasks on RPi, in which they have to deal with fast-moving objects. A global shutter camera is an ideal solution to avoid the rolling artifacts for better image processing, but it’s not easy on RPi. Arducam is one of the first companies Read more…
The HQ camera with C/CS-Mount is a big step forward Lens is a crucial part in a camera system that needs flexibility. A single lens cannot meet all needs because the use case varies from one application to another. Sadly, V1 and V2 Pi cameras have glued stock lenses, which Read more…
Quick answer to M12 lens RPi HQ Camera You either: Buy a customized m12 lens IMX477 camera (RPI-CAM-V2 sized) or Use an M12-CS adapter with an IMX477-matching M12 lens. Find more details in the blog below. Interchangeable lenses officially introduced to Raspberry Pi cameras The Raspberry Pi is a versatile Read more…
HQ cam is not the new V3 – it’s not a full camera module If I were asked about a new Pi camera releasing in 2019, I would be thinking about a Raspberry Pi Camera Module V3, which could have been arriving after the release of V1 in 2013 and Read more…
The Difference Between A Compute Module and A Raspberry Pi Most of us are familiar with the standard Raspberry Pi models, such as the Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 3B+, 4. Aside from these models for the consumer end, there is another lineup of the Raspberry Pi family intended for industrial Read more…
When it comes to developing a camera-related project on embedded systems like the Raspberry Pi (RPi) or NVIDIA Jetson Nano (NJN), we will take many factors into consideration. To help you better select a camera module, here is a quick start guide from Arducam. Identify the camera interfaces and choose Read more…
Most creatures have evolved to see the world with two eyes, but most of the Rasberry Pi models have not – the standard Raspberry Pi only comes with a single camera port. Hard as we try, the multi-camera and stereo vision applications on a Raspberry Pi did not deliver a Read more…
“Do we really see the world as it is?” Our Physics teacher, Mr. Hunt, asked our class this question, and then asked if anyone could think of an example of how we might be able to see things we normally can’t see. Someone said “how about night vision?” which sparked Read more…
Give the Official Raspberry Camera an Upgrade Consumer Electronics is more or less about pushing specs to the limit, so consumers can always buy newer and more powerful gadgets when they want it. In a fully competitive market like smartphones, we get faster CPUs, nicer screens, and better cameras so Read more…
Two camera Solution on pi 4, 3B+ and 3 – What you need to know about the background When we talk about a new two-camera solution on RPi, we have to mention the background of the stereo Pi camera on this popular open-source hardware platform. For a long time, advanced Read more…
Introduction – What stops you from using dual cameras on the Raspberry Pi? Many of the Raspberry Pi users may notice that there is only one camera slot on the board. Actually, the processors on the latest Raspberry Pi models, like the Pi 3 and Pi 4, offer support for Read more…
Last week, we finally received the package that contained the Raspberry Pi 4s we had ordered and started testing our camera modules on them. The Good news is that the Raspberry Pi 4 still keeps backward compatibility with the previous camera modules and sensors, so feel free to go with Read more…
The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B has been released on Jun 29th, and now you have access to up to 4GB of memory and 2 USB 3.0 ports, and that means a lot for Raspberry Pi 4 projects, especially for camera applications. With a boost in its performance, this long-anticipated Read more…
We all know that there is a CSI connector on the Raspberry Pi to facilitate the connections of a small camera to the processor, but how should we facilitate the small camera itself? As a professional camera manufacturer and solution provider, Arducam has been obsessed with this question for the Read more…
Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2 – What’s the problem? On May 14, 2013, the Raspberry Pi foundation announced the release of the first camera module board (5MP OV5647) for Raspberry Pi. Three years later, the V2 camera (8MP IMX219) was out with upgrades in resolution and image quality. Together with Read more…
The Focus Distance of a V2 Camera Module The viewing distance of the offical Raspberry Pi cameras is 1m to infinity, which means that you will extra works if you need to shoot closer than 1m. Introduction Problems with Fixed Focus In some simple applications, it’s fine to go with Read more…
