The Arducam B0353 is a 2.3MP AR0234 color global shutter camera module for Raspberry Pi, designed for high-speed machine vision and 3D imaging applications. It connects directly via the Pi’s CSI-2 interface and leverages the Pivariety solution for full ISP control, including auto-exposure and white balance.

Features

  • 2.3MP AR0234 Global Shutter Sensor eliminates rolling shutter artifacts for sharp imaging of fast-moving objects at up to 60fps.
  • Pivariety Camera Solution unlocks full Raspberry Pi hardware ISP functions for auto-exposure, white balance, gain control, and lens shading correction.
  • Direct CSI-2 interface connection requires no additional hardware and is compatible with libcamera and official V4L2 applications.
  • External trigger input enables synchronized multi-camera streaming for advanced machine vision and 3D imaging setups.
  • M12 lens mount and 90-degree horizontal field of view provide flexibility for wide-angle applications and lens interchangeability.

Description

The Arducam B0353 camera module integrates a 2.3-megapixel AR0234 CMOS sensor with a true global shutter, making it ideal for applications where motion artifacts from a rolling shutter are unacceptable. It delivers full HD resolution at 60 frames per second, capturing crisp, color-accurate images of fast-moving subjects in machine vision, drones, and industrial automation.

This module is built on Arducam’s Pivariety platform, which bypasses the limitations of closed-source Raspberry Pi camera drivers. It provides direct access to the Pi’s Image Signal Processor (ISP), enabling professional-grade tuning of auto-exposure, auto-white-balance, auto-gain control, and lens shading correction through standard libcamera tools and GStreamer pipelines.

Key Features

  • Global Shutter Technology: Captures the entire image frame simultaneously, eliminating skew and distortion for high-speed moving objects.
  • Pivariety ISP Integration: Leverages the Raspberry Pi's hardware ISP for real-time image processing and optimization without proprietary driver limitations.
  • High-Speed MIPI Interface: Utilizes a 2-lane MIPI CSI-2 connection for low-latency, high-bandwidth data transfer to the Raspberry Pi.
  • Flexible Output Formats: Supports RAW10, YUV420, JPG, and DNG image formats, plus MJPEG and H.264 video encoding for versatile application development.
  • External Trigger Synchronization: Hardware trigger pin allows precise, frame-synchronized capture across multiple cameras for 3D imaging and stereo vision.
  • M12 Lens Mount System: Standardized thread allows for easy swapping of lenses with different focal lengths or apertures to suit various fields of view.

Applications

  • High-Speed Machine Vision: Industrial barcode scanning, quality control, and robotic guidance where motion blur is critical.
  • 3D Imaging & Depth Sensing: Stereo vision setups and gaze/eye-tracking systems using synchronized multi-camera arrays.
  • Augmented & Virtual Reality (AR/VR): Low-latency, artifact-free image capture for immersive head-mounted displays.
  • Drone & UAV Navigation: Capturing stable, distortion-free video from fast-moving aerial platforms for navigation and mapping.
  • Industrial Automation: Synchronized imaging for conveyor belt monitoring, part inspection, and automated assembly lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect and enable this Arducam module on my Raspberry Pi?

Connect the camera's FPC cable to the Raspberry Pi's CSI-2 camera connector. Enable the camera interface via `sudo raspi-config` under Interface Options. The module uses the standard libcamera stack, so you can immediately use commands like `libcamera-hello` or `rpicam-hello` to test the feed. Ensure your OS is updated to support libcamera applications for full ISP functionality.

What software and libraries are needed to use the external trigger function?

The external trigger is a hardware feature controlled via GPIO. You will need to write a Python or C program using libraries like `libgpiod` or `Raspberry Pi.GPIO` to monitor the trigger pin. When the trigger signal is detected, your code should call the libcamera API (e.g., `rpicam-still` with `--immediate` flag) to capture a frame. Synchronization across multiple cameras requires connecting their trigger inputs to a common GPIO output.

Can I use different lenses with this camera module, and how do I change them?

Yes, the module features a standard M12 lens mount. To change the lens, gently unscrew the existing lens in a counter-clockwise direction. Screw in a new M12 lens with the desired focal length, ensuring it is seated flush. You may need to recalibrate the lens shading correction in your application software or via libcamera tuning files after changing lenses to maintain optimal image quality across the new field of view.
