Hi there, I'm new to the Luxonis OpenCV software, and am trying to create a toolpath for capturing RGBD depth images from an Oak-D Lite attached to a Raspberry Pi. The final image display output is to be on a Looking Glass Portrait (LGP) 3D holographic display frame.

I'm using the depthai-experiments/gen2-mega-depth python script main.py to capture still RGBD images, and it is working just fine. I already modified the script to make it save the images to a filename with date and time so that it would not overwrite files. The main.py script just starts numbering files as RGBD1.PNG and incrementing the filename by one, but it restarts at 1 when you restart the script. Anyway, that modification is working well.

My problem is that I want to be able to rotate the Oak-D Lite camera to take portrait mode images which will better fit the LGP display. I can do this in post processing simply by opening the RGBD image in an image editor, rotate 90 degrees, and resave the image. Again, this works fine, but I would like to eliminate this step.

Here is an example output image:

As you can see, this image is two 1440 Width by 1080 Height pixel images side by side (2880 X1080 pixels) with the RGB portion on the left and the greyscale "heat map" depth image on the right. When imported into the LGP Holoplay Studio software, it is not possible to rotate the image, so it is displayed sideways.

This is the same image rotated with an image editor (in this case, Irfanview):

This works in Holoplay studio, as you can designate where the D image is relative to the RGB image. In this case, you just specify "Above" and you get the properly rotated portrait mode image on the display.

So on to the python script. It takes an RGB frame grab and concatenates it with a Depth AI frame to create an image variable. What I would like to do is rotate the image before the final save, and I don't know the best way to do this.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Here is the main.py script:
