This begs the question, what are the best price-quality ratio cameras compatible with this board?
As I understand, both Jetson Nano and Google Edge TPU/Coral Dev Board would work with the same set of cameras, having the MIPI-CSI2 interface. Is it?
Many ML inference applications are using a camera, yet it's close to impossible to find something very affordable.
- joshvm 8y agoDepends what you want. The cheapest decent machine vision cameras that I know of are Basler's dart range, but they're still $100-300. Entry level is the DA2500-14uc (5MP 14fps). You can also try places like Leopard Imaging or eCon systems. Even then, most of eCon's stuff is $150+ and their APIs feel a bit hacky. This is all USB3. Unless you really need a mipi solution (you may need an adaptor board to match the), USB is fine. Even a webcam might be good enough.
- levesque 8y agoYikes that is pricey. Camera costs more than the board, right.
- scottlamb 8y agoWhat qualities does a decent machine vision camera have, besides price? size? resolution? lens/sensor quality? infrared? frame rate? latency? ruggedness? I have a bunch of inexpensive IP security cameras. I imagine the latency (~second) would be prohibitive for machine vision camera applications, where you probably are making some control decision immediately? I'm curious how else they'd compare.
