Have been desperately wanting something like this so I can build an AI to detect when people don't pick up their dog shit in front of my gate. I am saved.

They said they use the standard Sony camera but did driver changes to support 300fps… I’m very surprised that the rpi can handle 300 frames per second! Maybe very low resolution? But still that’s quite impressive for the SoC!

It really depends on what you are trying to do 300 times per second.

EDIT: Actually I just saw an article that I believe says 244 fps for Tiny YOLO on R Pi.

You can get the latest most powerful Raspberry Pi and connect any decent compatible camera, find a telescope adapter, and run something like Tiny-YOLO. That will save you around $200.

I’m not sure if you’re serious but this is pretty overkill for that.

How does this compare to the OAK-1 and OAK-D from opencv.ai?

If you're serious, please do a write up. I'm sure TONS of people would appreciate a project like this.

Love this. Moving to CM4 will make the form factor even better. If you're interested, here's an AI camera paired with a steerable hyperdirectional speaker that uses the Raspberry Pi and Google Coral: https://www.toutaudio.com/
