Abstract: The present invention refers to a dual camera system for automatic image recognition with a USB interface. The system includes a dual camera and a processor. The dual camera includes: a first camera with a USB interface for capturing colour images of the surroundings; a second camera with a USB interface for capturing images selected between colour and monochrome images for processing images; a microcontroller for controlling and synchronising the lighting; and a hub with a USB interface connected to the first and the second cameras. The processor with a USB connection, which is connected to the dual camera, is configured to analyse the images captured by the first and second cameras, as well as to manage the power of the first and second cameras.
