How to Rotate Camera Image (90°, 180°) in depthai V3

AkshayKumar

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to rotate the image frame from my OAK-4S camera by 180 degrees using the depthai library (version 3). I initially tried using setImageOrientation on the camera node, but I received an error stating that the 'depthai.node.Camera' object has no attribute 'setImageOrientation'.

Could someone please guide me on the correct way to achieve image rotation in the current version of depthai? I need the flexibility to rotate to common angles like 90°, 180°, and 270°.

Here is the error for reference:
AttributeError: 'depthai.node.Camera' object has no attribute 'setImageOrientation'

Any help or code examples would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

def build_pipeline(p: dai.Pipeline):

cam = p.create(dai.node.Camera).build(dai.CameraBoardSocket.CAM_A)

cam.setImageOrientation(dai.CameraImageOrientation.ROTATE_180_DEG)

out = cam.requestOutput((VIDEO_W, VIDEO_H), dai.ImgFrame.Type.NV12, fps=FPS)

q = out.createOutputQueue(maxSize=6, blocking=True)

return q

def main():

info = dai.DeviceInfo(IP_ADDR)

with dai.Pipeline(dai.Device(info)) as p:

video_q = build_pipeline(p)

p.start()

Hey @AkshayKumar - In v3 that error is expected – setImageOrientationonly exists on the old ColorCamera/MonoCameranodes, not on dai.node.Camera. The supported way now is to keep using Cameraand insert an ImageManipnode after it, then apply rotation there (e.g. 90/180/270° via ImageManipConfig.addRotateDeg).

Thanks,
