ESP-EYE
ESP-EYE is an Espressif development board designed for AI-assisted image recognition and audio processing, built around the ESP32 dual-core Xtensa LX6 processor supplemented by 8 MB PSRAM for frame buffering and model inference. It integrates a 2-megapixel OV2640 camera module and a digital microphone, enabling simultaneous vision and voice input processing directly on the device.
Overview
The ESP-EYE is a development board by Espressif designed for image recognition and audio processing in AIoT applications. It is built around the ESP32 chip and integrates a 2-Megapixel OV2640 camera and a digital microphone, making it suitable for smart surveillance, face detection, and edge-AI scenarios. With 8 MB PSRAM and 4 MB Flash, it provides enough memory for on-device image buffering and Wi-Fi transmission of captured frames to ThingsBoard.
