Rotate camera by 90 DEGREES

And how does the script node work in terms of code path. I see a "while true" in the script with no breaks and a while true after the script. do they run in parallel?

I tried keeping the same dimensions as my working code and just flipping twice and I didnt not get an output stream and then I tried a zero degree turn twice and still no stream. Am I messing something up here:

        manipRgb = pipeline.createImageManip()
        rgbRr = dai.RotatedRect()
        rgbRr.center.x, rgbRr.center.y = cam.getPreviewWidth() // 2, cam.getPreviewHeight() // 2
        rgbRr.size.width, rgbRr.size.height = cam.getPreviewHeight(), cam.getPreviewWidth()
        rgbRr.angle = 0
        manipRgb.initialConfig.setCropRotatedRect(rgbRr, False)
        cam.preview.link(manipRgb.inputImage)

        manipRgb2 = pipeline.createImageManip()
        manipRgb2.initialConfig.setCropRotatedRect(rgbRr, False)
        manipRgb.out.link(manipRgb2.inputImage)

        # Create an UVC (USB Video Class) output node. It needs 1920x1080, NV12 input
        uvc = pipeline.createUVC()
        manipRgb2.out.link(uvc.input)

I actually cant get the cam.video to go through any manipulation node and into the UVC

I tried passing the cam.video into the manip node and into the uvc. Then I tried setting the preview to 1920x1080 (is that a possible size?) and feeding that into the manip node and into uvc and I still could not get that working either.

Hi chandrian ,
With the new depthai you can also use cam.video with ImageManip. I believe we plan to update the depthai uvc branch to latest, so you will be able to achieve this. Regarding the issue, please submit the full MRE.
Thanks, Erik

I am not having much success with rotating the input to the facial recognition. Do you think this is possible? If not, do you have another suggestion?

Hi chandrian , yes it should be possible.

Thanks for the reply Eric,

I have been trying to get this to work with no luck. It seems when I add multiple nodes, it does not function well. I am just feeding isp output into a mobilenet.

I tried just duplicating the resize image ImageManip above to prove functionality since I got the single resize working and I cannot get it to pass to the mobilnet and function.

This is using the UVC demo.

Thanks!

Hi Erik,

What do you mean when you say that? Do I post those things here in the forum post? Or do I submit something like a git issue?

Ah ok thanks. I tried to keep it minimal with the images above but maybe that was too much? Basically I fed the camera.isp output through two image crops to see if it would work and I got an error. Both image crops worked independently but it feeding through both nodes gave me an error.

what should the general approach be? This is the camera source flow through two nodes. The crop node works fine but I am not seeing the face recognition working when I add the rotation:

# Define source and output
camRgb = pipeline.create(dai.node.ColorCamera)
xoutVideo = pipeline.create(dai.node.XLinkOut)

xoutVideo.setStreamName("video")

# Properties
camRgb.setBoardSocket(dai.CameraBoardSocket.RGB)
camRgb.setResolution(dai.ColorCameraProperties.SensorResolution.THE_1080_P)
camRgb.setVideoSize(1920, 1080)
camRgb.setPreviewSize(300, 300)

xoutVideo.input.setBlocking(False)
xoutVideo.input.setQueueSize(1)

# Create MobileNet detection network
mobilenet = pipeline.create(dai.node.MobileNetDetectionNetwork)
mobilenet.setBlobPath(
    blobconverter.from_zoo(name="face-detection-retail-0004", shaves=3)
)
mobilenet.setConfidenceThreshold(0.7)


crop_manip = pipeline.createImageManip()
rgbRr = dai.RotatedRect()
rgbRr.center.x, rgbRr.center.y = camRgb.getPreviewWidth() // 2, camRgb.getPreviewHeight() // 2
rgbRr.size.width, rgbRr.size.height = camRgb.getPreviewHeight(), camRgb.getPreviewWidth()
rgbRr.angle = 90
crop_manip.initialConfig.setCropRotatedRect(rgbRr, False)
camRgb.isp.link(crop_manip.inputImage)

crop_manip2 = pipeline.create(dai.node.ImageManip)
crop_manip2.initialConfig.setResize(300, 300)
crop_manip2.initialConfig.setFrameType(dai.ImgFrame.Type.BGR888p)
crop_manip.out.link(crop_manip2.inputImage)

crop_manip2.out.link(mobilenet.input)

Hi chandrian , I believe NNs should be run after rotating (90deg) the camera, as otherwise you will try to run inference on rotated frames (-90deg) which will have much worse performance?

I didnt quite follow. We rotated the camera so the faces coming in would be rotated 90 going into the NN so we are trying to rotate in software before the NN so that they are upright. Did I miss understand you?

I even tried it with a rotation of zero degrees to see if the facial recognition was working and it was not working.

You probably dont have time to try it yourself but if you had any guidance on the approach that would help a lot. Hoping to get this done before production next week. Thanks again

I actually got the rotated face detection working with the gen2_face detection examples so I'm trying to dissect that to make this work.
