Retail Footfall Camera Kit v27
Retail Footfall Camera Kit v27 – NDVI Crop Stress Analyser on Raspberry Pi 5
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
This kit transforms a Raspberry Pi 5 into an agricultural diagnostics tool that uses near-infrared imaging to calculate plant health indices. By analysing subtle spectral differences invisible to the human eye, the built system flags chlorophyll deficit, water stress, and early disease onset — exactly the kind of intelligence agritech start-ups and precision farming projects need today. Whether you are preparing for a Smart India Hackathon prototype or an engineering minor project, this gives you a deployable, real-world pipeline.
What You'll Build
A standalone capture-and-analysis station. The Pi Camera Module 3 NoIR takes photographs of crop leaves or canopy sections; custom OpenCV scripts extract red and near-infrared channels, then compute a modified NDVI index that correlates with chlorophyll content. Results are stored on the NVMe SSD along with timestamped imagery, making the unit field-ready without screen or cloud dependency. You end up with a working device you can carry into a polyhouse, a research plot, or a B.Tech demonstration.
What You'll Learn
- Capturing and separating visible / near-infrared bands using a Pi NoIR camera
- Implementing a vegetation index pipeline with OpenCV and NumPy on Raspberry Pi 5
- Deploying a lightweight stress-classification model at the edge
- Managing high-speed image write and retrieval over the M.2 HAT+ interface

Who This Kit Is For
Built for B.Tech ECE and agricultural engineering students taking up Smart India Hackathon challenges around precision farming, as well as CBSE Class 12 students exploring computer science investigatory projects. Also fits ATL Tinkering Labs and early-stage agritech teams at NIT, VIT, or BITS who need a rapid prototype that moves beyond simple sensor demos into actual image-based diagnostics.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Open the AI companion from the QR code on the box; it understands every step of this specific kit. For anything beyond its scope, message us on WhatsApp and a Compoden engineer replies within hours.
Is coding experience required to complete the project?
Basic Python familiarity helps, but the AI companion provides complete annotated scripts and explains each block. You follow along, modify parameters, and learn by doing.
Can I adapt the system for other camera modules or plant types?
Yes. Once you understand the NDVI pipeline, you can swap in other Pi cameras or recalibrate for different crops. The companion includes guidance on tuning threshold values for wheat, rice, and leafy vegetables commonly grown in India.
Does the kit include a battery for field use?
The kit includes a USB-C power supply for bench setup. For portable field operation, any standard 5V power bank with USB-C output works — the AI companion suggests tested models available locally.
