A camera for motion photography and machine vision

 

The Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera is designed to accept CS-mount lenses and, with the supplied adapter, C-mount lenses. The CGL 6 mm CS-mount and 16 mm C-mount lenses are examples of third-party products that are compatible with the Global Shutter Camera.  The camera also has an adjustable back-focus adjustment so that you dial in focus for a particular lens.  The plastic lens housing module has an ICF.  You can easily remove the housing from the PCB and push the ICF out of the housing or buy the camera from us with no ICF.

The Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera is a specialized 1.6-megapixel camera that is able to capture rapid motion without introducing artifacts typical of rolling shutter cameras. It is ideally suited to fast motion photography and to machine vision applications, where even small amounts of distortion can seriously degrade inference performance.

With a large pixel size of 3.45μm × 3.45μm providing high light sensitivity, the Global Shutter Camera can operate with short exposure times (as low as 30μs with adequate lighting), an advantage for high-speed photography.

It features a 1.6MP Sony IMX296 sensor, and it has the same C/CS-mount lens assembly as the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera, for compatibility with the same broad variety of lenses. In common with other global shutter sensors, the IMX296 has a lower resolution than similarly sized rolling shutter sensors; a low pixel count is appropriate for machine vision applications, where high-resolution images are challenging to process in real time. The Global Shutter Camera's lower resolution means that with appropriate lens magnification, an image suitable for processing by a machine vision model can be captured natively.

The Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera includes a C- to CS-mount adapter, a screwdriver, and a 150mm ribbon cable, as well as a removable plastic back cover for protection. It is compatible with any Raspberry Pi computer that has a CSI connector.

You can also use our Llewellyn Optics M12 Fused Silica lens that transmits light below 200nm (77% @200nm) using a C-Mount to M12 adapter with no vignetting.
