And it turns out well
An enthusiast from the Netherlands named Bjorn Karmann (Bjørn Karmann) came up with perhaps the most unusual camera. The project is called Raspberry Pi Paragraphica, while the novelty is devoid of a lens, but it still knows how to create images.
The fact is that a Raspberry Pi 4 single-board computer is built inside, on which a neural network is installed that generates images from text and other data. The source data includes geolocation data, weather, current time, and so on. The presence of attractions near the shooting location is taken into account separately.
Created a camera with a built-in neural network.
On the body there are three knobs that are responsible for different parameters. The first one specifies in which area to look for data to generate images. The second sets the level of noise, and the third sets the degree of blurring the picture.
To “photograph” you need to point the camera at the object and press the shutter button. At the same time, a text description is displayed in the viewfinder, according to which the image is generated.
