How can I set the autoexposure region when using the ROS node?

BradSteiner

Is there a way to set an autoexposure region using the ROS parameters? (and ideally also the autofocus region?) Thanks!

I don't think it is currently possible to do that.

Hi, currently it is not possible to do that, you can set exposure manually via ROS parameter mechanism

BradSteiner

any idea if this will be possible in the future?

Luxonis-Adam

Hi, I think yes, if its a crucial feature we can put in on top of backlog

BradSteiner

For our usecase it is definitely crucial. We are currently seeing our area of interest washed out due to a darker background. However our lighting will not be completely fixed so we cannot rely on manual exposure parameters

Luxonis-Adam

@BradSteiner which ROS distro are you using? I can create a temporary branch with this feature that you will be able to use in meantime

Luxonis-Adam

Hi, if you are using Humble, you can refer to this branch for now

I am using Humble, thanks!!
