OAK-D PRO check IR projection.

precira

Hi, should I be able to see the IR projector of an OAK-D Pro through an IPhone camera? (For a realsense D435, I clearly see the IR from the projector through my phone camera)

The reason I am asking is that I don't see any difference in depth quality with and without IR projector (I simply cover the projector with my thumb)

I use the following two lines in python to activate the IR projector:

pipeline.getDefaultDevice().setIrLaserDotProjectorIntensity(1.0)

pipeline.getDefaultDevice().setIrFloodLightIntensity(1.0)

Is this correct?

Best regards

Hey @precira

The OAK-D Pro uses 940 nm IR, which iPhones cameras often filter out, so you won’t see the projector. The lines are correct.

Here’s an example you can try where you can adjust the laser and floodlight intensity (best tested in a dim environment), you should see the projector dots on the stream:
