🤔 How can you understand the modular capabilities based on the reCamera Core? The following explanation, based on the development idea for the first-gen reCamera, may help you understand this clearly.
💡 Why we make this first-gen reCamera?
Today, as processors (both SOC and MCU) are becoming smaller and more powerful, it is now possible to combine the processor with camera sensors. In fact, many IPCs (IP cameras) are already using this design to accelerate AI detection on edge devices.
So today, we introduce reCamera, an open-source camera platform for everyone to play with. We have divided this project into 3 interchangeable parts:
- Core Board
- Sensor Board
- Base Board
This design allows users to easily change the interfaces and camera sensors to suit their needs. We hope that these components can be freely combined in any way.
By building this hardware platform and ecosystem, we enable other applications to grow on this platform without the need to worry about changing from one platform to another in the future.
The engineering focus on modularity, high performance, and ease of use ensures that reCamera serves as a powerful platform for developers and makers. This design streamlines complex hardware processes, allowing users to integrate vision AI capabilities into their systems efficiently and creatively.
We've taken care of the intricate hardware work, freeing up time for user innovation. The modular design enables users to rapidly switch cameras and customize interfaces, transforming development from months to weeks only!
