Outline

  • scalable array of networked camera nodes
  • low-cost (relatively) ~100--200 Euro/node
  • 800x600 @ 30 fps in visible or IR
  • low latency preview of merged views
  • synchronized to sub-millisecond time resolution
  • hardware accelerated encoding
  • synchronization with external systems (e.g. elecrophysiology recordings)

Hardware

Software

  • based on Picamera, ZMQ, OpenCV, FFmpeg

Inspiration

Raspicam paper

Inspiration of the system was taken from prior work done by Saxena et al. 2018, code here.

Questions

How big is the Pi rgb led board PCB?

It measures 20.3 × 17.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pi rgb led board use?

12 parts, built around the BC817. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Pi rgb led board KiCad files?

From the wonkoderverstaendige/BeholderPi repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is physical/pcb/pi_rgb_led_board/pi_rgb_led_board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pi rgb led board design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
