Item Description:

 

This Arducam quadrascopic camera bundle incorporates four 1MP OV9281 global shutter cameras, and the cutting-edge MIPI stereo camera breakthrough from Arducam - The Arducam Camarray HAT. As the upgraded version of Arducam Synched Stereo Camera HAT, the Camarray further pushes the multi-camera limits and doubles the interfacing capabilities to allow 4 synchronized MIPI camera modules to be interfaced to a single MIPI CSI-2 slot on prevailing single-board computers like Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, and Jetson Xavier NX. Also, as the Camarray HAT releases, Arducam starts to support a variable baseline for stereo camera applications with some modified Arducam camera modules, such as those OV9281 ones included in this bundle. Since no shared camera board or clock-sharing soldering is required for the image sensors, you can kick off your prototyping for stereo camera applications and then decide the optimal baseline. Arducam also accepts subsequent customizations for your stereo camera applications.

 

 

 

KERNEL CAMERA DRIVER USED

 

This camera relies on kernel drivers to work - one kernel version, one camera driver. Up or downgrading your OS leads to a kernel bump, and you may need to re-install a matching driver.

 

 

 

Important Note on the Arducam Camarray HAT:

 

The Camarray HAT is not sold alone for the following reasons:

 

1. Most of the cameras on the market are not designed for synched stereo uses. We've modified our camera modules specifically for the Camarry HAT. Your own V1, V2 or HQ camera modules won't directly work with it.




2. The Camarray HAT requires different firmware for different Image sensors that are not natively working with your embedded systems. Your own OV9281 and OV7251 camera modules won't directly work with it, and they are not easily interchangeable.



 

 

Customization is required if you have extra requirements as the following:

 

1. You need the camera module to run on other Video Modes and Frame Rates.




2. You need to trigger the camera with an External Hardware trigger.




3. You only want three images or one image.



 

 

Applications:

 

• Head, and eye tracking




• Gesture detection




• Motion detection




• 3D reconstruction




• Depth-related vision applications



 

 

Note:

 

• Raspberry Pi board and Jetson Nano/Xavier NX are not included in the package.




• This bundle kit is not recommended for Raspberry Pi Zero.




• The OV9281 cameras in this kit is a special version and cannot be used on Raspberry Pi or Jetson directly..
