OakCamera function stopping python command-line arguments

Ssywise98 · Aug 3, 2023

I'm having trouble sending command line arguments while running the camera using the OakCamera function in python. I keep getting this error :

error: unrecognized arguments:

When all the code using OakCamera is commented out it works fine. I also notice this problem occuring when trying to run example code like the depthai-experiments/gen2-yolo/car-detection. Trying to set the model in the command will also lead to this error.

What do you mean by 'command line arguments'? Are you using an input prompt or are you setting flags using argv?

Hi sywise98 , you can use this approach, to both use SDK args parser plus your own ones:
https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-experiments/blob/master/gen2-yolo/device-decoding/main.py#L1-L9
Other option is to just disable SDK arg parser with with OakCamera(args=False) as oak:.

erik Wish I had known about that, I have been using opt and resetting argv…
