DepthZ Is there a workaround that will produce both high-quality depth and mono images without the pattern? (only using flood projection is not good enough as the quality of the depth is reduced)
Turning off the projector and improving the texture in the scene will do the same thing. Why not just use CV algos on the color image? You can convert it to grayscale using ImageManip node.
DepthZ I want to make sure that when using the ToF feature, it doesn't affect the quality of the mono image, and the projected patterns will not be shown in the mono images.
Patterns will not be seen on the mono images.
DepthZ Night Vision - If I used an external IR floodlight, would the camera pick it up and produce images? Does the wavelength matter? If so, what's the recommended wavelength to avoid interference with the ToF sensor?
Unfortunately, both the mono bandpass filter and the ToF are sensitive to 940nm. From our tests, it shouldn't be much of a problem, since ToF is slightly delayed as to not interfere, but when using external light, the IR might worsen the depth, just like sunlight does.
Thanks,
