This is my pipeline diagram.

As shown in the diagram, I'm using the mono camera on the right as the input for the neural network. However, I've unexpectedly noticed that the input source for the neural network sometimes switches to the mono camera on the left. What could be the issue?

    Hi YaoHui
    Shouldn't happen unless there is some ambiguity in the pipeline links.
    Could you paste the pipeline please? I also find it weird the upper mono produces exactly twice as many frames as the bottom one. Perhaps there is a wrong link somewhere?

    Thanks,

        These are the settings for my pipeline.

        Thank you.

        monoLeft = pipeline.create(dai.node.MonoCamera)
monoRight = pipeline.create(dai.node.MonoCamera)
depth = pipeline.create(dai.node.StereoDepth)
xout = pipeline.create(dai.node.XLinkOut)
xoutd = pipeline.create(dai.node.XLinkOut)

xoutd.setStreamName('dets')
xout.setStreamName("disparity")

monoLeft.setResolution(dai.MonoCameraProperties.SensorResolution.THE_400_P)
monoLeft.setCamera("left")
monoRight.setResolution(dai.MonoCameraProperties.SensorResolution.THE_400_P)
monoRight.setCamera("right")
monoLeft.setFps(60)
monoRight.setFps(60)
depth.setDefaultProfilePreset(dai.node.StereoDepth.PresetMode.HIGH_DENSITY)

depth.initialConfig.setMedianFilter(dai.MedianFilter.KERNEL_7x7)
depth.setLeftRightCheck(lr_check)
depth.setExtendedDisparity(extended_disparity)
depth.setSubpixel(subpixel)

xrout = pipeline.create(dai.node.XLinkOut)
xrout.setStreamName("right")

manip = pipeline.create(dai.node.ImageManip)
manip.initialConfig.setResize(360, 240)
manip.initialConfig.setFrameType(dai.ImgFrame.Type.BGR888p)

monoRight.out.link(manip.inputImage)

nn = pipeline.create(dai.node.NeuralNetwork)
nn.setBlobPath(".blob")
nn.input.setQueueSize(1)
nn.input.setBlocking(False)

manip.out.link(nn.input)

post_nn = pipeline.create(dai.node.NeuralNetwork)
post_nn.setBlobPath(".blob")
post_nn.input.setQueueSize(1)
post_nn.input.setBlocking(False)

nn.out.link(post_nn.input)

monoLeft.out.link(depth.left)
monoRight.out.link(depth.right)
depth.disparity.link(xout.input)
monoRight.out.link(xrout.input)
post_nn.out.link(xoutd.input)

            Hi YaoHui
            The pipeline looks fine. Could you attach a video of the switch happening? It might help to clarify what the cause is.

                The image switching occurs every time upon a restart, and the image source being used sometimes differs from the configuration
                It's indeed a strange phenomenon.
