MT9F001 – 14.0 MP Camera Module

Description

MT9F001 – 14.0 MP Camera Module:

The MT9F001 – 14.0 MP Camera Module (B0097) features the MT9F001 color sensor from Micron/Aptiva. The sensor has a 1/2.3″ optical format; the pixel size of 1.4 µm x 1.4 µm, which provides the 14.0 MP (4608 x 3288) image. This is a rolling shutter sensor, which captures an entire column (or row) simultaneously, so the sensor compiles the image by scanning across (or down).

Lens / Mounts:

These camera modules are sold with bundled with the M12 LS-18023 lens and plastic mount. They are also available without a lens – just a generic plastic lens mount to protect the sensor during shipping. They may also be purchased without a lens, just a plastic lens mount to protect the sensor. Available separately are higher quality metal M12 or CS lens mount, or a motorized IR cutoff filter mount; for the motorized IR cutoff filter mount, the user must supply the 5-18 V power.

The key benefit of the standard lens mounts available with this module is the simplicity in swapping the lens – fisheye, wide-angle, telephoto, zoom, IR or NoIR filter – all of which are available from DLSCorp. Click on the Camera Lenses product category for the complete selection of ArduCAM lenses. Be sure to note the compatible lens mount height (7 mm, 10 mm, etc.) for each lens selected if you chose an M12 metal mount option. Note, each lens purchased separately comes with its appropriate height lens mount (plastic for M12, metal for CS), so you may choose to purchase the camera with only a generic plastic lens mount (to protect the sensor). Click on the Camera Lens Mounts product category for information about lens mounts, including compatibility with the various lenses.

Camera Shields:

In the Arduino world, a “shield” is a piggy-back circuit board that provides additional functionality to the development board. In this context, a camera shield provides the required interface from the camera module to your computer. You may choose to create your own custom-built hardware interface via the 30-pin 0.5 mm pitch interface. Or, you may purchase one of the available ArduCAM camera shields.

The ArduCAM USB Camera Shields provide you a USB connection to a Windows, Linux, or Raspberry Pi computer for these camera modules.

Open-source software and binaries are provided on the ArduCAM GitHub site (see link below) for these shields.
