Industrial Vision Modules For Raspberry Pi 5
High-resolution, HDR, global shutter and low-light cameras bring industrial-grade imaging performance to Raspberry Pi 5 based edge vision designs.
Edge vision systems based on single board computers are increasingly constrained by camera bandwidth, latency, and image quality when moving from prototyping to production. Hobby grade camera modules often limit resolution, low light performance, and reliability needed for industrial and embedded AI workloads.
Leopard Imaging Inc. has broadened the portfolio of professional camera modules optimized for Raspberry Pi 5. The camera line-up is designed to leverage the platform’s upgraded processing capability and dual four lane MIPI CSI interfaces to enable high resolution and low latency imaging for embedded vision applications.
The modules include:
- LI IMX664C MIPI 129H high resolution color and low light sensor
- LI IMX900C MIPI 078H compact global shutter module
- LI IMX715 MIPI M12 HDR optimized imaging sensor
- LI IMX662 MIPI 081H low light imaging using STARVIS 2 technology
- LI AR2020 MIPI 079H 20 megapixel high speed HDR rolling shutter sensor
The camera modules interface directly with the Raspberry Pi 5 high bandwidth CSI architecture and integrate industrial grade optics with selected Sony and onsemi image sensors. The designs support high frame rates, global shutter operation, HDR capture, and low light imaging depending on the sensor variant. All modules are compatible with Raspberry Pi OS and supported by open source drivers to enable direct integration at the system level.
Key features of the lineup include:
- Native support for Raspberry Pi 5 dual four lane MIPI CSI interfaces
- Industrial grade camera modules with plug and play integration
- Support for high resolution, HDR, global shutter, and low light imaging
- Compatibility with Raspberry Pi OS and open source drivers
- Designed for scalable embedded and edge vision systems
The company concludes, “With the Raspberry Pi 5 line-up, we are democratizing professional imaging. We are bringing the same industrial camera reliability and high performance sensor technology used by our enterprise clients directly to the developer community.”
