Max Depth distance

RyanLee

We are using OAK-D now. And it is for getting depth information for our project. Based on our test, it just is working with 10 meters depth not any more. But we hope to have the depth infomation with 30 meters. Could you recommand any soution for us. One option we checked is using more wide FOV camera. So if we are using OAK-D Pro W, we can reach out the 30 meters?

Best regards,
Ryan.

Hello RyanLee ,
We have done our own testings here with OAK-D and OAK-D-W. With OAK-D at 15 meters and subpixel enabled there was about 8% depth error. Depth error should increase exponentially, so at 30m it will be above 10% for sure.
Actually, wide FOV will be worse for longer depth perception - you would want narrower FOV and/or wider baseline distance between the two mono cameras. We actually plan to create a long range camera for that, with 15cm baseline distance and M12 mounting holes so you can change FOV (narrower for longer depth perception, wider for... well wider FOV). Thoughts?
Thanks, Erik
