Product description: PixyCam ver. 2.1 CMUcam5 camera - intelligent image sensor - SparkFun SEN-14678
An intelligent image sensor that allows the robot to find objects. Pixy has support for various devices, such as Arduino , Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone . The software and hardware are fully OpenSource compliant, so they can be freely modified.
Pixy2 is smaller, faster and more efficient than its predecessor. Like its predecessor, it can learn to detect objects , and it also has new algorithms that detect and track lines. These algorithms can also detect intersections and "road signs" that tell the robot what to do, e.g. turn left, slow down, etc. Pixy2 has a speed of 60 fps.
Main Features Image Sensor
- Multiple communication interfaces including UART, SPI, I2C and USB.
- Ability to communicate with popular platforms including: Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi and Arduino.
- Working speed 60 frames per second.
- The module is small in size and easy to connect.
- PixyCam has built-in image processing systems, so the motherboard's microcontroller is not burdened with a large amount of calculations.
Examples of module applications
- Mobile robots - the device allows, among other things, to track lines and detect colors. Special algorithms also allow to determine the position, orientation and size of objects.
- Alarms - the camera can notify the user about an object approaching it.
- Automation - With the ability to distinguish the color, size and location of an object, PixyCam is suitable for use in automation devices. The built-in memory allows you to save up to 7 objects.
