ASSIGNMENT No: 03
Title: Understanding and connectivity of Raspberry-Pi with camera.
Problem Statement: Understanding and connectivity of Raspberry-Pi /Beagle
board with camera. Write an application to capture and store the image.
Objective:
1. To understand different ways of capturing Image
2. To Understanding the process of connection of camera to Raspberry-Pi
Theory:
The Raspberry Pi Camera Module v2 replaced the original Camera Module in
April 2016.
•The v2 Camera Module has a Sony IMX219 8-megapixel sensor (compared to
the 5-megapixel Omni Vision OV5647 sensor of the original camera).
•The Camera Module can be used to take high definition video, as well as stills
photographs. It’s easy to use for beginners, but has plenty to offer advanced
users if you’re looking to expand your knowledge. You can also use the libraries
we bundle with the camera to create effects.
You can read all the gory details about IMX219 and the Exmor R back-
illuminated sensor architecture on Sony’s website, but suffice to say this is
more than just a resolution upgrade: it’s a leap forward in image quality, colour
fidelity, and low-light performance.
•It supports 1080p30, 720p60 and VGA90 video modes, as well as still capture.
It attaches via a 15cm ribbon cable to the CSI port on the Raspberry [Link]
camera works with all models of Raspberry Pi 1, 2, and 3. It can be accessed
through the MMAL and V4L APIs, and there are numerous third-party libraries
built for it, including the Picampere Python library.
The camera module is very popular in home security applications, and in
wildlife camera traps.
