OAK-D-Pro-W - NIR Isolation

bartptak

Hi!

I have the OAK-D-Pro-W camera, and I wonder if it is possible to extract the 940nm image from mono cameras. One idea I have is to get a raw type (ImgFrame) and process it by myself. Do you have any recommendations or tips?

Hi @bartptak ,
Do you mean only the 940, without any visible light? You'd need to use "visible light filter", that only blocks visible light. I have used this in this blog post:

I think this is the filter I used:

From their description:

The IR850 brand infrared filter blocks all visible light up to 850 nm. However, infrared rays are allowed through.
