OpenMV is an exciting kickstarter project. The project is about building a camera module with some smarts behind it. OpenMV is a MicroPython-powered machine vision camera that gives your project the power of computer vision without the need for a laptop or GPU.
If you believe that the future will bring a world filled with cameras backed by intelligence, neural nets, and computer vision --- then OpenMV is for you. Already today we are seeing drones that are getting intelligent cameras and self-driving cars are loaded with smart cameras. . To read more about the smart camera project visit: OpenMV
