Multiple cameras, one host

AndreiMunteanu

I have an issue with multiple devices. I want to place 2 devices (Oak D-lite cameras) on the horizontal axis to extend the FOV. So far, the only solution I have found is to get the feed from both cameras, synchronize them on the host and then send it back to one of the cameras for detection processing. Is there a better solution for this? thanks

Hey AndreiMunteanu - for two separate OAK-D Lite devices, there is no clean fully on-device way to merge both streams and run one shared detector without host involvement. If you need one wide image, the closest reference is the multi-device stitching example: multiple-device-stitch-nn.

If the goal is just wider coverage, the better approach is usually to run detection on each camera separately and fuse the results on the host instead of sending merged frames back to one device. The closest example for that is spatial-detection-fusion.

One more option is to use Wide version of our cameras.

Thanks,
Oskar
