Prophesee Introduces Developer Kit for Raspberry Pi
Prophesee, developer of an event-based vision system, launched a starter kit for Raspberry Pi 5, a single board computer developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation (Cambridge, UK). The kit from Prophesee, the GenX320 Starter Kit for Raspberry Pi, connects directly to a Raspberry Pi camera connector.
Event-based vision is different than a frame-based approach to capturing images. It doesn’t capture entire images at once but instead detects changes in brightness, known as "events," at each pixel.
The kit is built around the GenX320 event-based sensor. It has a 320 x 320 resolution, >140 dB dynamic range, event rate equivalent to ~10,000 fps, and sub-millisecond latency. The developer’s kit provides support for OpenEB, a container native storage pattern, with Python and C++ APIs.
The kit, designed for embedded vision, helps developers build applications for drones and robotics, such as obstacle avoidance and real time SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping); industrial IoT and surveillance, such as 3D scanning and detecting defects; and surveillance and safety, such as detecting intrusions or falls.
