Underwater Camera OAK D POE

KevinSilva

How can I improve the color image quality from the OAK-D POE camera in a salmon pond to make it look more natural? Which settings would be best to adjust in order to achieve a better image, especially considering that there's a spotlight in front of the camera? I've been using the RGB Color Camera example code and have obtained some good results, but I would like to know what more can be configured in the color capture beyond what is shown in that example code.

This is what I get without modifying anything:

Hi @KevinSilva
Check the white balance and AE for the light issue. Also this guide helps you a bit with noise reduction and overall IQ improvements.

Perhaps you can check the RGB control example to quickly see the difference with different settings.

Thanks,

Did you manage to get workable underwater images? Got very similar results with the IMX577. Very green compared to our other cameras. Would you to know if it's possible to improve it enough to be useable?

Added a comparison image between the Gopro and the IMX577. We're going to try out the Color tuning for low-light environments blob, but the green seems a little extreme, so wondering if that is something else?
