Thanks, I've got one of their depth cameras that's been ok. I didn't realize they'd expanded their line so much. Glad to hear about the API/SDK improving, last time I mucked with it a year or so ago it seemed like it was underdeveloped.

Going to have to dig into the sensors they use - had passable luck with non ML tasks using dirt cheap camera modules from laptops running at low resolutions right up until I started moving the cameras at all and then it became a blurry mess because they were so small their exposure times were high. (I'm trying to also avoid having to put a bunch of illumination near the cameras so it doesn't entirely look like a biblically accurate angel)

Well, you can control the camera ISP and they use very decent IMX modules, so it really shouldn't an issue like it was with the cheapos, as long as you can do the coding to your needs.

Check out TI’s new low cost board vision AI board: https://www.ti.com/tool/SK-AM62A-LP

They have a home grown AI accelerator along with free Deep learning SDK.

Also offer a pretty easy online tool (free again) to use called TI Edge AI studio. They are using extending the existing AI solutions that come from the higher performance parts like TDA4 and AM68A parts. Pretty good considering a lot of these manufactures are just buying other AI Ip that isn’t performing great and investing in their own engineering.
