The Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera is a specialized imaging module designed to capture fast motion without the distortions typical of rolling shutter cameras. It is particularly well-suited for high-speed photography and machine vision applications where even minor distortions can significantly impact performance.
This camera module features a 1.6-megapixel Sony IMX296 sensor, which is known for its large pixel size of 3.45μm × 3.45μm, providing high light sensitivity and allowing for short exposure times as low as 30μs in adequate lighting conditions. The global shutter technology ensures that all pixels capture light simultaneously, which is an advantage over rolling shutter cameras that can introduce artifacts when capturing rapid motion.
The Global Shutter Camera is equipped with the same C/CS-mount lens assembly as the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera, making it compatible with a wide variety of lenses. This flexibility allows users to choose the lens that best fits their specific needs. The camera's lower resolution is intentional for machine vision applications, where high-resolution images can be challenging to process in real-time. With the appropriate lens magnification, the Global Shutter Camera can capture images suitable for processing by machine vision models natively.
The module 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. The camera's form factor is 38 × 38 × 19.8mm (with the adapter and dust cap being 29.5mm), and it weighs approximately 34g (41g with the adapter and dust cap)。
In summary, the Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera is an excellent choice for applications that require precise, distortion-free imaging, such as in industrial automation, robotics, or any scenario involving fast-moving subjects.
