A very promising new board hit the market last year. It is the OpenMV M7 Camera module. The project started as a Kickstarter campaign three years ago which managed to raise 100.000$ to bring the idea from paper to reality.
The project aims to bring Machine Vision closer to makers and hobbyists. They want to become the Arduino of Machine Vision. I love this idea! It is going to make Machine Vision easy and fun to use. Our projects will be able to "see" the world for the first time! Let's see what the board has to offer.
The OpenMV M7 camera module features the following:
• OV7725 Image sensor with a resolution of 640×480 pixels
• ARM Cortex M7 processor
• CPU Frequency: 216MHz
• 512KB RAM Memory
• 2MB of FLASH memory
• microSD Card Slot
• A full-speed USB interface to the computer
• SPI, I2C, CAN buses
• 10 I/O pins
• A 12bit DAC and 12bit ADC
• And, an RGB LED and two high power 850nm IR LEDs.
• MicroPython support
• Low power consumption, about 1W
Compared to an Arduino Uno, or even an ESP32 we can see that this board uses a very powerful processor.

Glad to see you again, been following you for many yrs, will look into your latest finds, Take care
cool card. can it do video compression for transmitting it? and what is the max resolution?
Great review. I've been working on a similar project. Can this one do face recognition or sample image matching? How about multiple blobs or edge segmentation?
Fantastic find.
Thanks for sharing👍😀
Very nice video, thank you. Do you know if it is possible to make superimpose of text (overlay) an so on ?
Gday
DO they have an opensource/DIY webcam and
DIY CCTV ?
What about shutter speed? I need every frame without motion blur effect
Can it be a depth map? How accurate would it be? Would it require stereo cameras for depth map?
Can it be used with Arduino IDE and c++? Thanks
Can I use openCV with this cam? I bought the pixy 2 but it doesnt return the raw image. Is it the same for this one?
I like this channel.. great tutorial and educating us...
Very neat if you have a low power budget for sure. No wifi and steep price will make it a tough sell for most though. Thanks for sharing
Great video thanks forma sharing!!!
Great video! Is there any chance you can do a video on displaying the camera onto a lcd to act like a home made reversing camera
Did you ever notice your blink program blinks the GREEN LED and the documentation says LED 3 is the BLUE one.
My board does the same as yours. also my LED 2 is RED when it should be GREEN. and LED 1 does nothing.
Not sure about LED 4 since I can't see IR.
I see you have been watching video creators... good to see you using the tips well, I just need to do the same!
Does something like this exist with a higher resolution for more money?
Great video!
Hello, I need help. Maybe you can recommend me something concrete or at least make some suggestions in both the HW and SW parts. Any help is welcome. I need to set up a kind of surveillance/streaming system for a project at my school. I would very much like to do it with something like ESP32-EYE or ESP32-CAM. My intention is to stream (or as close as possible) on RUclips or FB directly from the module. I am not sure if that is possible and how to do it. I am very tight on time, and I don't have much money for testing either. I know that you have a lot of experience and have tested many modules. Please, which ESP module/camera/software could I use for that? Thank you very much.
Dear sir , can i use it in industrial pplications
can we control it with arduino
Excellent presentation!!!
Hello! I also got openmv, and I see heavily distorted colors. Apparently there is no infrared filter on the camera.
Fantastic Video. Thanks for showing 👍
Hello Tim! Thanks for the nice words! Cheers!
educ8s.tv are you going to show more about this board?
Maybe Face Recognition and machine learning.
Have a nice Weekend
Very Impressive board. I'm curious what are the fps on the device while live inferencing ai models.
Hello sir, it's a great project. I am working on one project in which my steel cut parts should get recognized by a vision camera. Parts variant is 2000+. I want an application that can take photos of steel parts and tell me the part number for that based on previous data stored. Pls, let me know if any solution for it.
Great 8nfo thanks!
Thanks Nick the video was beautiful again. Unfortunately, it is something on the expensive side for me. But it is a nice board. maybe for the future if it gets cheaper.
Very cool thx for your videos. So fun ! About april tags, is it some lib in python, or you have write something to do that?
Apriltag decoding is supported in firmware so you don't have to write anything at all!
BUT CAN WE CONNECT THIS CAM TO ARDUINO . AND RUN ARDUINO CODE
Can I use this for search an especific color in a frame? Please I need an answer 🙇🏼♀️🙇🏼♀️🙇🏼♀️
Yes of course you can!
Nice bro...
I wonder if this could be used to work with a pick and place robot?
Yes you can, but take into account the huge lens aberration and the poor resolution.
Do you think it's possible to plug the OpenMV onto an GoPiGo Robot with a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and detect Lanes etc.?
USB power consumption meter is pretty cool @6:07 - where can i buy it from and how much - thanks.
Sorry I should have read the description first before posting a comment!! Found it
OK now I have to make a HAL9000 eye and mount it at my front door!
It looks interesting, but as others have said it's a bit too pricey for a non application specific project IMO/on my budget. I imagine the software registration thing is due to the probability of clones hitting the market in the near future if the hardware sells well. I understand, no one want's to see their pet-project turn into a Saleae USB Logic analyzer like clone disaster. Still I expect full functionality out of the box for a 1 time purchase price when I buy something.
Perhaps they should have done a hardware serial ID chip or something to control hardware clones. I have no idea how effective such a device is in practice. I've just skimmed a couple Maxim datasheets for their single wire interface versions.
All that said, I'm not at all familiar with Python...yet.. I'm doing good to find my way around in C/C++ so I would probably struggle with this hardware.
If your gaging interest on this subject in order to determine future content to create. I'm rather curious about Machine learning. I'll watch almost anything about the subject. Looking at how many views/subscribers YT CC's like the channel "Code Bullet" have (no affiliation), its quite a popular subject right now.
Personally, I'm working on several projects and really really shouldn't add any more, but I would like to find a simple step by step guide for a practical/simple machine learning project using a STM32, ATSAM21, or any other hardware that can be sourced for under $10 and is available in a TQFP or larger pitched pin package (because they are within my current home etching capabilities).
If your interested in FPGA stuff Sparkfun started carrying a new devboard based on a 32 pin QFN Lattice IC that apparently has a large open source project behind it. I'm curious about that one too altough I'm already playing with a CPLD and Altera Quartus so I shouldn't just abandon that.
Thanks for the upload. I hadn't heard of or seen this camera project before. It's new to me ;)
-Jake
wow new intro!!
Excellent
Are this camera is line scan camera
H7 is now on kickstarter and soon will be on stores. It has faster processor and can use camera modules (like thermal) ... I do believe though that banggood doesn't sell the original camera
we can use Artificial Intelligence with STM32?
Very interesting, I will have to get one.
Yes, it is a very interesting board. I am already planning some projects with it.
Can you make a tutorial how to make a TV Ambilight RGB with Arduino or Raspberry pi? There are some tutorials of how to make for monitors but It will be great if you make one of how to make for TV
4:00 I see GreatScott
Is it possible to review the Pixy 2 as well?
Yes, I have received a Pixy 2 camera. It is fantastic! I will prepare a review for it! Cheers!
@@Educ8s great! Can't wait to see a review and projects
I just reviewed the pixy. Check it out!
5:01 Nokia 3310 on the table? :D
If anyone is looking for the FONT used @3:07. It's called "Segoe UI Black" ;)
Is OpenMV based on the OpenCV architecture?
I don't think so.
I mean nowadays you can do everything with an STM32 board that has some Cortex M7 with the newly released CMSIS library offered. Many ML applications can be developed using the board and the CMSIS lib--> Even face detection :0
A new revision (OpenMV H7) is available with a beefier processor.
How much is the cost??
Ia there somthing cheeper? Like 10$?
Not 10$ but cheaper than the OpenMV bit.ly/2Kn96Wh
It's a great idea but the resolution isn't great. I still prefer the Raspi + RaspiCam combination. If you pair that to an arduino you really have a doped machine vision system.
Tempted to use it for watching a bird box or feeder next year and remove false triggers with the AI but adding WiFi and license pushes the cost way above the Pi solution I’ve looked at.
Hello Andrew, that's an interesting project of the cam. I just wanted to clarify that the software is free, the registration is optional. Good luck with your project!
5:55 frankly I am 100x more interested in this USB power meter
Is that a custom made one?
No, it is not custom made. You can find a link to it in the description of the video.
Camera area.
That 3310 in the background tho ....
You have a very sharp eye ;-)
Its look really cool "but" coming soon.... but i feel expensive for my projects country :(
do you have video with this current meter?? or any review?.
Gud
The newer H7 is in Kickstarter with better specs.
Thains
I am pretty sure the ESP32 runs at 240MHz Max, not 160MHz.
I have a RPi3 + Rpi Camera already. USD $50+ price tag is a bit steep for a beginner, or what you get.
OpenMV runs on all the Pi's since its in python.
Then again, RPi is a power hog, and not battery friendly.
I have raspi and cams but they do not do all of this. That is what makes this over priced cam interesting.
Great little thingy but there is one Problem:
Python
ESP32-CAM module has a camera and cheaper, but OpenMV gives better programming environment and more examples.
Or you can get quad core 1ghz+ orange pi zero with full fledged linux and networking for like 9 USD. And whatever camera you want.
Raspberry pi zero w and pi cam = way less money to pay with similar features and more benefits
it's like buying an old smartphone with a poor camera and a poor processor. I use my old galaxy s2 and works like a charm.
There are mobile phones starting from $60. You know, those thingys with battery, cpu, 2 types of memory, display, wifi, 4g, gps, accelerometer, dust proof enclosure. Accidentally they have camera too... Actually, 2 cameras.
"Actually 2 cameras" :) :) you have got a nice hit there hahaha omg I cant stop laughing... Well said, I was thinking the same.
It seems that the JeVois camera is a better deal
camera resolution is too low
It's not made for selfies
So expensive for what it is. Pi zero w, $15, and it has a 1GHz processor. With Pi cam (picked up cheap from China), it ends up way cheaper than this - around half price - AND Bluetooth and WiFi are built in.
Interesting board though.
Πολύ ενδιαφέρον, θα σκεφτόμουν κάτι σε ταυτόχρονη αναγνώριση πολλαπλών προσώπων, σαν κάμερα ασφαλείας στην εξώπορτα που αν δει ένα "γνωστό" πρόσωπο, να κλείνει τον συναγερμό ή να σε ιδοποιι ότι ήρθε ο Τάκης π.χ.
I think $50 for the board is only a little bit to pricey (try $35) but $15 for the registration is about 5 x beyond way to expensive.
Lower the board to $35 and then the lowered $2 registration fee will only be a little to expensive.
Hello, thanks for the comment. Just to clarify, the registration fee is optional.
@@Educ8s purchasing the product itself is optional as well
Sure, it is. My point is that you can use the software without buying it, but not the camera without buying it.
Can you make a robot like cozmo or vector which can work by its own☺☺☺☺☺
Thank you!!!!!!👍👍👍👍
Should have had a movidius chip also
www.movidius.com/solutions/vision-processing-unit
Let's hope, it gets cheaper.
it's about 34$ in ebay
After four years, the price remains the same. Aiyaiyai
Unfortunately the chip shortage made the prices go up in a lot of chips. In the case of OpenMV it made them boards disappear which is a pity because I liked it so much.
Pay to register the software? Nope, will look elsewhere.
The registration is optional. To software is working without having to pay.
Can we use this camera with our own code ?
Like how we use USB cameras..
... the whole system is far too expensive for me. You can build that up a lot cheaper with a little bit of work.
Buy the pixy 2, much more reliable and simple to use.
I 've the pixy. I prefer OpenMV
micropython is so slow language... also ESP32 has two speeds 160/240Mhz so it is faster
Faster in frequency doesn't mean faster in processing speed. Maybe you would like to say cheaper. Also must take into account that esp32 is made in China and support is really bad. Also it is dual core but I don't believe you know how to load both cores in same time in order to increase performance
2:56 You must pay extra?! Fcc it! It's no longer worth it!
The registration is optional
@@Educ8s question is, can we use this at full fledged state without register? Is it full version without register? If not, *Disqualified! They are greedy, expensivist!!!*
Wait... $50 for the camera module and then they want another $15 for registration? Hey, what about a subsribtion model? Let the users pay $5 PER DAY OF USE and squeeze even more money out of them! I'm out 🤬
not worthy at all, price way to high, no connectivity..
Too expensive, too low resolution. An IP camera is cheaper, higher resolution and easily hackable if need be.
Indeed, a web camera is cheaper. But try to run AprilTag tracking on it, or write your own software on it, or control some motors with it, or use some of the ready-made Machine Vision algorithms on it. This boards saves you a lot of time and IMHO it the time saved is valued more than 50$.
A Seriously Shitty Product.
WOW! HOW MUCH ARE THEY PAYING YOU! get ride of the music! check your blood pressure i dont think you have long to live! you say its free and then want $15 GOOD LUCK! i dont think your going anywhere! also your "echoing" point the microphone into your mouth!
