Amazing! I would like to know, if I want to build a portable project using the OpenMV Cam H7, what can I use as my power source? I would like to mount the setup and run an OpenCV application on it, without it having connected to my laptop. Please excuse me, as I am new to embedded systems projects. Thank you !
Probably not. Our goal isn't to take pictures. If we do make a more powerful system we're most likely going to go full closed hardware/source route so we can skip to the top of the line stuff.
For more insight... All the higher end cameras require a MIPI CSI bus which isn't supported except on high end application processors. The high end application processors that you can buy on digikey and have open docs are very expensive like the i.MX6/7/8. If you want cheaper application processors you typically have to give up being able to share source code, schematics, etc. to get access to internal documentation and supply lines for these high end but cheaper chips. That said, we've noticed folks don't seem to care too much about this as long as it's cheap and it's go the specs. Anyway, the H7 is just a feature bump of the M7 product line. We plan to sell it for a long time as people seem to like it and continue to buy it.
It might be entertaining to ballpark how much a system with a top of the line image sensor would sell for. Then folks who want to use such a system could let you know whether they would pay that amount. I’m thinking of applications like face recognition that would benefit from higher resolution and how valuable your system could be to researchers and builders. Thanks again for your great work!
Hi, thanks for the kind words. A top of the line system would be about $50 for retail. Quite cheap. But, given all the NDAs we have to sign the product won't really be hackable or Open Source. You'd get a camera board than ran CNNs and basically no help support from us other than whatever we could release. It's really hard to make an SDK on top of closed product systems.
@@user-wz8mk6dv8x That’s not something cameras have the ability to do. You need a very high end camera and optics just to see that far. Even then, what the camera is looking at is subjective. So, you want some type of CNN that can determine what’s in the image to output a classification on what is there.
How the IDE current is too out of date to run on the Pi. We are doing a major update to the IDE starting in May and hope to resolve all these issues by July.

You guys rock, proud supporter here since the beginning. Keep innovating!
This is genuinely amazing. Can't wait to play around with one
Please back us on Kickstarter!
So cool!!!!
Thanks!
Really wanted to have this module, many improvement that i wan to make with this module.
looks good If any giveaway events :P
Kickstarter?
we joined you
I asked the agent here, saying that it would be shipped in March 2019.
There's a lead-time of 14 weeks from the factory to get the chips. We've already started the purchase process.
Amazing!

It doesn't run OpenCV. You can power it via a Lipo 3.7V battery.
But can I use the OpenCV Python library? And regarding the battery, after approximately how long will I have to recharge it?
@@syedh7843 Our system isn't a desktop OS. It doesn't run Linux, thus, it can't run OpenCV.
@@syedh7843 We don't have a battery charger onboard.
@@OpenMVLLC Thank you so much !
I would like use this camera with a thermal sensor...it can be use for drone FPV video???
Answered you in email I think.
How likely is it that you will build a future version with a higher resolution sensor?
Probably not. Our goal isn't to take pictures. If we do make a more powerful system we're most likely going to go full closed hardware/source route so we can skip to the top of the line stuff.
That’s interesting. Thanks for the info.

I just got the open mv7, so can I use the servo controller.
Use the Servo Shield with it.
any link to the kickstarter?

Can I use this board with the arbotix m controller? Or 2 other controllers?
You'd need to write the interface logic to that board.
@@OpenMVLLC
How you do that?
@@Jerseylance1 Please ask questions on our forum.
Hello! from what distance can an object be determined?
cameras don’t directly measure distance.
@@OpenMVLLC for example, from 500 meters, can we identify, say, a heavy load?

@@OpenMVLLC Thanks for the detailed answer.
how to install openmvide for raspberry pi?

Hi I would be really interested in couple if possible to create tutorial series and projects on my channel.
Hi, please back us on Kickstarter to get in on getting an OpenMV Cam H7. We don't have any prototype units left.
