Raspberry Pi’s new AI Camera Kit takes the strain of processing neural network models from the CPU; instead the Sony IMX500 does all of the hard work. Yes, the $70 Raspberry Pi AI Camera Kit has just been released and we had early access to a unit for our review, but we wanted to show you how to get started with the kit, and this will be the first in a short series of how tos, covering getting started and how to generate your own neural network models for use with the kit.
In this part, we get things up and running, learn how to use the software from the terminal, and via Python. We’ll be using a Raspberry Pi 5 for the how to, but the process can be repeated on a Raspberry Pi 4 or Zero 2 W. Note that other models of Pi may need a few tweaks to work.
