The techniques used to resample images is an interesting topic in itself. We found this downsampling example from Eloquent Arduino works with fine the Arduino_OV767X camera library output (see animated GIF above).Īpplications like the TensorFlow Lite Micro Person Detection example that use CNN based models on Arduino for machine vision may not need any further preprocessing of the image - other than averaging the RGB values in order to remove color for 8-bit grayscale data per pixel. We’re using the RGB565 format which has 5 bits for red, 6 bits for green, and 5 bits for blue: These define how the color values are encoded and all occupy 2 bytes per pixel in our image data. The camera library also offers different color formats: YUV422, RGB444 and RGB565.
Don’t forget to change the size of your array too. You select the resolution by changing the value in Camera.begin. It reduces the size of the image data array required in your Arduino sketch as well.
This is a good start as it reduces the amount of time it takes to send an image from the camera to the Arduino. The configurations currently available via the library today are: The options modify the image data before it reaches the Arduino. The OV7670 module supports lower resolutions through configuration options. We have to do something to reduce the image size! Camera format options Also consider an 8-bit grayscale VGA image occupies 300KB uncompressed and the Nano 33 BLE Sense has 256KB of RAM. Even state-of-the-art ‘Big ML’ applications often only use 320×320 images (see the TinyML book). The person detection example in the TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers example uses 96×96 which is more than enough. uTensor runs handwriting detection with MNIST that uses 28×28 images.

The full VGA (640×480 resolution) output from our little camera is way too big for current TinyML applications.
