1.1 Application Examples
Due to the dual core processing and the low-power capabilities, Portenta supports a wide array of applications.
Machine Vision: In combination with the Portenta Vision Shield it can run machine vision applications. This
allows to detect the presence or movement of objects in a video stream.
AI & Machine Learning: Thanks to the power of the two cores it can simultaneously read data from sensors or
other devices on one core while the other core processes the data stream and uses machine learning to make
sense of the data. When used with the Portenta Vision Shield its camera module or the two directional
microphones can be used as data sources.
1.2 Accessories
The Portenta H7 Vision Shield is a rapid pathway to developing applications that combine vision, audio and
connectivity. The ultra low power HM-01B0 CMOS image sensor is designed with always-on applications in
mind. The 324x324 data stream can be used with either the Arduino toolchain or OpenMV for gestures, ambient
light, proximity sensing, and object identification. The large pixel size (3.6μm) provides a high signal-to-noise
ratio. The two omnidirectional digital-microphones (MP34DB02) allows concurrent capture of stereo sounds
alongside the video stream on the MicroSD Card, as well as for beamforming uses. Connectivity is provided by
either ethernet or LoRa technology. LoRa technology enables the use of this platform as part of wireless sensor
network solutions.
