Strategies to reduce motion blurs

Finpush · Nov 13, 2023

@erik I have an application that captures high speed objects and need to address motion blurs. I tried to use the blobs https://docs.luxonis.com/projects/api/en/latest/tutorials/image_quality/#motion-blur and they work. However the light reduction is too high for it to be practice on my use case. What are the alternatives that may be available for aside the blobs? I am using OAK-Pro-W currently.

@jakaskerl have we already documented the custom script for manually changing max exposure, and do we have any eta for the branch release?

Erik should I interpret that as a yes or a no?

Hi Finpush
The branch has been released and is available on ae_exp_limit branch. This enables you to set the ae to custom values in case it helps improve the image quality.
What about manually raising the image brightness? Would that not work in your case?

Thanks,
Jaka

Hmm, I have not tried that yet. Can you point me to some example of increasing the brightness. Even better solution would be to calibrate the camera with when running the blobs if that is possible. Happy to set the brightness manually to see if that does the trick.

Hi Finpush
Here is an example to control the camera:
https://docs.luxonis.com/projects/api/en/latest/samples/ColorCamera/rgb_camera_control/

Aditional options/functions that are not mentioned there:

setAutoExposureCompensation()
setBrightness()

Thanks,
