DIY Video Microscopy
https://hackaday.com/2019/10/16/diy-video-microscopy/
He settled on the Raspberry-Pi route. The Pi and a hard disk were attached directly to the frame of the microscope, and a VGA display connected via a converter. Finally, the Pi camera was jury-rigged to one of the eyepieces using some foam. It’s a quick and dirty hack, and not the best solution, but it works well for [voidnill] since he wanted to keep the original microscope intact.
The standard Pi camera has a wide angle lens. It is designed to capture a large image and converge it on to the small sensor area. Converting it to macro mode is possible, but requires a hack. The lens is removed and ‘flipped over’, and fixed at a distance away from the sensor – usually with the help of an extension tube. This allows the lens to image a very small area and focus it on the (relatively) large sensor. This hack is used in the “OpenFlexure” microscope project

Quick And Dirty Digital Conversion For Analog SLR
https://hackaday.com/2019/11/14/quick-and-dirty-digital-conversion-for-analog-slr/
The unarguable benefits of digital photography has rendered the analog SLR obsolete for most purposes. This means that a wide selection of cameras and lenses are available on the second hand market for pennies on the dollar, making them ripe targets for hacking. [drtonis] decided to experiment with a quick and easy digital conversion to an old Canon A-1, and it’s got us excited about the possibilities.
It’s a simple hack, but a fun one. The SLR is opened up, and the spring plate for holding the film is removed. A Raspberry Pi camera then has its original lens removed, and is placed inside the film compartment. It’s held in with electrical tape, upon a 3mm shim to space it correctly to work with the original optics.

Camrd Raspberry Pi-Powered Rugged Camera Offers Smart Object Recognition, Waste Tracking
https://www.hackster.io/news/camrd-raspberry-pi-powered-rugged-camera-offers-smart-object-recognition-waste-tracking-5fee5ee494fc
Designed to be fully rugged, the Camrd includes standalone base camera or object recognition capabilities.
Environmentalist Paul Kinsella has launched a crowdfunding campaign for the Camrd Camera, a Raspberry Pi-powered outdoor camera with object recognition capabilities and up to a 220-degree field of vision.
Inside the ruggedized and weatherproof housing of the Camrd is a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ board fitted with a 64GB microSD card for both the operating system and to store up to seven days of Full HD (1080p) video footage. The camera module, meanwhile, is placed behind a choice of 160 degree or 220 degree fish-eye lenses — themselves protected by a water-resistant glass dome.
Control of the camera system comes through a web portal, capable of pulling recorded or live video and still images as well as installing software updates

This new 3D scanner design has speed, fidelity, and affordability, and you can back it through Kickstarter now.
They’re able to achieve speed, fidelity, and a relatively low cost by building the Pixello 3D scanner with a bunch of Raspberry Pis. There are a total of 220 boards arranged around the perimeter of the Pixello machine, each with their own camera module. A custom set of Pi POE Switch HATs from Pi Supply are used to combine power and networking to minimize the cost and complexity. The Raspberry Pis can all snap their photos simultaneously, and then the custom Pixello software algorithms can generate a 3D model within just a few minutes.

Insect Eyes Provide Inspiration for New Ultrathin Raspberry Pi-Compatible Array Camera System
https://www.hackster.io/news/insect-eyes-provide-inspiration-for-new-ultrathin-raspberry-pi-compatible-array-camera-system-6ae53b55b5a9
By taking multiple images from the array and merging them, the ultrathin camera system can trade blows with much larger equivalents.
created a Raspberry Pi-compatible ultrathin camera using arrayed microlenses inspired by the eyes of the adult strepsiptera Xenos peckii.
compound eyes have superior visual functions, such as large depth-of-field (DOF), wide field-of-view (FOV), high motion sensitivity, and low aberration.
To prove the concept, the team created an ultrathin camera array based on multilayer aperture arrays (MAAs), inverted microlens arrays (iMLAs), and gap spacers, above a flat CMOS image sensor. While each lens in the array captures a relatively blurry image, the multiple images are combined into a finished shot that offers significantly improved clarity, contrast, and resolution than any single image.
The camera system was attached to a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ single-board computer, with the software required to combine the images running directly on board.

GETTING 1000 FPS OUT OF THE RASPBERRY PI CAMERA
https://hackaday.com/2020/03/11/getting-1000-fps-out-of-the-raspberry-pi-camera/
The Raspberry Pi camera has become a de facto standard for many maker projects, making things like object recognition and remote streaming a breeze. However, the Sony IMX219 camera module used is capable of much more, and [Gaurav Singh] set out to unlock its capabilities.
After investigating the IMX219 datasheet, it became clear that it could work at higher bandwidths when configured to use all four of its MIPI CSI lanes. In the Raspberry Pi module, only two MIPI lanes are used, limiting the camera’s framerate.

In the Raspberry Pi module, only two MIPI lanes are used, limiting the camera’s framerate. Instead, [Gaurav] developed a custom IMX219 breakout module allowing the camera to be connected to an FPGA using all four lanes for greater throughput.
With this in place, it became possible to use the camera at framerates up to 1,000 fps. This was achieved by wiring the IMX219 direct to an FPGA and then to a USB 3.0 interface to a host computer, rather than using the original Raspberry Pi interface. While 1,000 fps is only available at a low resolution of 640 x 80, it’s also possible to shoot at 60 fps at 1080p, and even 15 fps at 3280 x 2464.

https://hackaday.com/2020/05/01/new-part-day-raspberry-pi-camera-gets-serious-with-12-megapixels-proper-lenses/
The Raspberry Pi Foundation have slipped out a new product, a $50 camera module with a larger sensor that increases the resolution from the 8 megapixels of its predecessor to a Sony IMX477R stacked, back-illuminated 12.3 megapixel sensor, and most interestingly adds a mounting ring for a C mount lens (the kind used with CCTV equipment) in place of the tiny fixed focus lenses of past Pi cameras. In addition there is a standard threaded tripod mount on the module, and an adapter ring for CS mount lens types. The camera cannot be used without a lens, but there are a few options available when ordering, like 16mm telephoto or 6mm wide angle lenses, if you do not already have a suitable lens on hand.

A More Open Raspberry Pi Camera Stack With Libcamera
https://hackaday.com/2020/05/11/a-more-open-raspberry-pi-camera-stack-with-libcamera/
As open as the Raspberry Pi Foundation has been about their beloved products, they would be the first to admit there’s always more work to be done: Getting a Pi up and running still requires many closed proprietary components. But the foundation works to chip away at it bit by bit, and one of the latest steps is the release of a camera stack built on libcamera.
Most Linux applications interact with the camera via V4L2 or a similar API. These established interfaces were designed back when camera control was limited and consisted of a few simple hardware settings. Today we have far more sophisticated computational techniques for digital photography and video. Algorithms have outgrown dedicated hardware, transforming into software modules that take advantage of CPU and/or GPU processing. In practice, this trend meant bigger and bigger opaque monolithic pieces of proprietary code. Every one a mix of “secret sauce” algorithms commingling with common overhead code wastefully duplicated for each new blob.

Use Almost Any MIPI Camera Module on Raspberry Pi (up to 18MP)
https://www.arducam.com/use-almost-any-mipi-camera-module-on-raspberry-pi/
The Arducam team has worked hard in the past few years to solve the technical issues, and now we just released a low cost, high-performance camera board for the Raspberry Pi platform, enabling users to connect most MIPI camera modules directly to Raspberry Pi’s native CSI camera port.
this offering from Arducam enables industrial quality cameras to be paired with low cost processors, and will bring many new machine vision applications to life.
Technically, there are at least three methods to use a camera on a RasPi, and they are SPI Cameras, USB cameras, and MIPI cameras.
MIPI stands for Mobile Industry Processor Interface, and MIPI CSI-2 is one of the most popular camera interfaces to support high-performance camera applications.
These Arducam MIPI Camera Modules adopts the Raspberry Pi Zero like 22-pin CSI connector, and you can easily use them on Raspberry Pi 4, Pi 3/3B+, Pi Zero, and Raspberry Pi Compute Module with Arducam SDK and examples. You can now use a better camera module for applications like wildlife camera, surveillance camera, Raspberry Pi video streaming, AR/VR, QR code scanning, and so on.

I built my own camera with a Raspberry Pi 4
https://www.theverge.com/21306907/diy-camera-raspberry-pi-high-quality-how-to-build-video-c-cs-mount-lenses
It’s always been a dream of mine to put my vintage camera lenses to work again, so when the Raspberry Pi Foundation put out a camera system that supported C- and CS-mount lenses, I knew I had to get one and turn it into a custom digital camera.
My plan was to put the new Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera inside the body of a toy 35mm camera I had, giving me a way to use my vintage lenses without having to pay for processing film.
For my build, I used the $50 HQ Camera Mod, a Raspberry Pi 4 computer, a USB-C portable 10,000mAh charger, a 3.5-inch touchscreen, jumper wires, a mini push button switch, the body of a Ninoka NK-700 35mm camera, and two vintage C-mount lenses.
The plan was simple: plug in the HQ camera board to the Raspberry Pi, program the system to take photos using a button, and then place all of the components into the gutted body of a toy, 35mm camera I found in my basement. Carrying out the plan was, well, not as straightforward.
The official Raspberry Pi Camera guide is free online and filled with code for programing different functions like stop-motion photography or setting up a security camera.

Photographers on a budget can build their own 3D camera using a pair of Raspberry Pis and Raspberry Pi HQ Cameras.
DIY 3D Camera with Raspberry Pi
https://www.hackster.io/news/diy-3d-camera-with-raspberry-pi-ef403d059fd9
Photographers on a budget can build their own 3D camera using a pair of Raspberry Pis and Raspberry Pi High Quality Cameras.
The most practical way to capture 3D photos and videos is to use two cameras that are spaced apart at a distance roughly equal to that between your own eyes. But that is easier said than done; two cameras are obviously more expensive than one, and those cameras need to be small enough that they can be positioned close together (or have complicated lenses to achieve the same effect). Fortunately for 3D enthusiasts on a budget, Raspberry Pi computers provide a fantastic solution, and you can build your own 3D camera using a pair of Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera modules.
The Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera module was released earlier this year, and is a huge step up from the normal camera module. The Camera Module V2 has an 8-megapixel Sony IMX219 sensor, while the High Quality Camera has a much better 12.3-megapixel Sony IMX477 sensor. Aside from the higher resolution, the High Quality Camera also has great features like C and CS-mount lenses that make it better suited for professional applications. To create your 3D camera, you’ll need two HQ Cameras, two lenses, and two Raspberry Pi Zero Ws.
For software, just install and update Raspbian Lite on both of those Raspberry Pis (make sure to give them unique hostnames). You’ll then setup each Raspberry Pi and camera as a webcam, which will allow you to see the video streams on your local network via webservers. A Python script called 3dcamera.py will let you meld those two feeds into one that you can view through a website, which will also let you snap 3D pictures. You can view your new 3D images however you like, but the Google Cardboard VR headset kit is an affordable way to look at them.
https://magpi.raspberrypi.org/articles/make-a-3d-camera
To create 3D photographs, we need to be able to take two photos simultaneously, about 5 cm apart. These images can then be processed into a variety of different formats such as parallel view, cross-view, or anaglyph (when you wear red/green glasses). As this is a 3D project, it’s not surprising to learn that we’ll need two of everything.
As we have two Raspberry Pi Zero boards, we need two power supplies, right? Well, we can pull a little trick so that only one is required. With some wire, solder a 5 V line and a ground (GND) line from one GPIO to the equivalent on the other

Are you looking for hardware to pull off your virtual meetings in style? Maker Max Braun feels your pain, that’s why he decided to retrofit a Raspberry Pi Zero inside of an old Apple iSight camera.
The iSight originally ran from 2003 – 2006, so the quality of the camera (and compatibility) is far from modern standards. By gutting the inside, he was able to fit a Pi Zero inside along with a Camera Module V2.
The camera upgrade provides a significant improvement in image quality. The new setup captures 1080p video with a frame rate of 30 per second. The outer shell was kept intact to maintain the look and feel of the original iSight.
