I will do a hand gesture recognition system using CMSIS-NN on arm cortex project for one of

my grad courses. I will use a sample project which is Image Recognition on Arm Cortex M with CMSIS-NN. However, the camera module that is STM32F4DIS-CAM camera module is obsolete. For this reason, I am not sure what to use as a camera module. Could

you please give me some advice about it?

    Hi @BSati.1​,

    I have found that the B-CAMS-OMV camera module is pin compatible with the STM32F4DIS-CAM camera module, so you can connect it to your STM32F746G Discovery board. The drivers of the B-CAMS-OMV can be found in the AI vision function pack.

    Hi,

    As the camera module of the STM32F746G DISCO board is obsolete, I suggest you to use the STM32H747I-DISCO board with the B-CAMS-OMV camera module. ST provides an image classification example on GitHub. Using the python scripts, you can select one of the proposed neural networks and re-train it to fit your dataset, or you can use your own neural network.

    Hello @BSati.1​ and welcome to the Community :) ;

    It is necessary to use 8- to 14-bit digital camera module interface with 32F746Discovery board.

    Also, STMF746DISCOVERY board has a camera connector (P1). So, when you choose the camera module, please do not forget to take this criterion into consideration. For that you can refer to UM1907 and precisely table 4.

    I hope this help you!
