Comparing the AI Vision Sensor to the V5 Vision Sensor

The AI Vision Sensor represents a significant enhancement over its predecessor, the Vision Sensor. Notably, its camera range has been expanded, and it now integrates Artificial Intelligence capabilities. This advanced feature enables the sensor to swiftly identify and interpret specific Color Signatures, Color Codes, AprilTags and AI Classifications.

  AI Vision Sensor Vision Sensor
Horizontal Field of View (FOV) 74 degrees 64.6 degrees
Vertical Field of View (FOV) 63 degrees 46 degrees
Diagonal Field of View (FOV) 87 degrees 74.5 degrees
Resolution 320 x 240 pixels 316 x 212 pixels

What is the Field of View?

The Field of View (FOV) of a camera determines the extent of the world it can capture in a single frame, akin to its viewing angle. A broader FOV allows for a wider perspective, while a narrower FOV limits the scope. With enhanced FOVs across all parameters, the AI Vision Sensor boasts an expanded visual range, surpassing the capabilities of the standard Vision Sensor.

What is Resolution?

Resolution refers to the number of pixels on the AI Vision Sensor displays. A higher resolution results in sharper and clearer images, enhancing the Sensor's ability to perceive and identify objects and colors with precision. For a deeper understanding of how the Sensor utilizes its resolution and how to interpret its display, refer to Using the AI Vision Utility with the AI Vision Sensor in VEXcode V5.

What are AprilTags?

AprilTags are the simple block patterns that can be found on things like VEX’s Disks or Cubes. Read AprilTags with the AI Vision Sensor in VEXcode V5 to learn more about them and how to enable their detection with the AI Vision Utility.

What are AI Classifications?

AI Classifications are objects that the AI Vision Sensor has been trained to detect. It can differentiate between different VEX objects found in the classroom and competition fields. Read AI Classifications with the AI Vision Sensor in VEXcode V5 to learn about what AI Classifications are able to be detected and how to enable their detection with the AI Vision Utility.
