Arducam 1MP*2 Stereoscopic Camera Bundle Kit for Raspberry Pi, Nvidia Jetson Nano/Xavier NX, Two OV9281 Global Shutter Monochrome Camera Modules and Camarray Stereo Camera HAT

Description

Item Description:

This Arducam stereo camera bundle kit consists of two synched OV9281 global shutter cameras and an Arducam Camarray stereo camera HAT. As a stereo bundle system, it enables simultaneously working dual cameras with a variable baseline for better prototyping and evaluation with a single MIPI CSI camera slot: The two image sensors are on separated camera boards, and you easily move them around for different perspectives while the Camarray HAT handles the rest of the work. This is helpful for proof-of-concept stages when you may want more flexibilities than what a fixed stereo camera module can offer. You will be able to find the optimal baseline for your application with this bundle, and we welcome you to send us product customization requests after that.

Applications:

• Head, and eye tracking
• Gesture detection
• Motion detection
• 3D reconstruction
• Depth-related vision applications

Note:

• Raspberry Pi board is not included in the package.
• This bundle kit is not recommended for Raspberry Pi Zero.
• The OV9281 cameras in this kit is a special version and cannot be used on Raspberry Pi or Jetson directly.

Important Note on the Arducam Camarray HAT:

The Camarray HAT is not sold alone for the following reasons:

1. Most of the cameras on the market are not designed for synched stereo uses. We’ve modified our camera modules specifically for the Camarry HAT. Your own V1, V2 or HQ camera modules won’t directly work with it.

2. The Camarray HAT requires different firmware for different Image sensors that are not natively working with your embedded systems. Your own OV9281 and OV7251 camera modules won’t directly work with it, and they are not easily interchangeable.

Customization is required if you have extra requirements as the following:

1. You need the camera module to run on other Video Modes and Frame Rates.

2. You need to trigger the camera with an External Hardware trigger.
