  • Hi @jakaskerl ,

    I couldn't find it on the docs, and I want to be sure - is there a way to turn the IR dot projector on and off while recording?

    I want to use the active stereo with the dot projection but also get clean mono images, so I thought I'd take every other image with an IR dot projector and the rest with flood light. This way, I reduce the FPS of both by half but get better-quality mono and depth images.

    Is this possible?

  • Hi!

    I pre-ordered the OAK-D Short Range PoE with ToF and really looking forward to getting it.

    Do you know when it will be ready as we're already in late July?

    • Hi,

      I want to build a rig using a 3D printer for the OAK-D Short Range PoE with ToF and OAK-D Pro W cameras.

      Is there a way to get their 3D model?

      • It's unclear from the spec of the OAK-D Short Range PoE with a ToF camera if it's possible to receive the depth image from the ToF while also recording video from the stereo cameras using ONLY IR light (== night vision)

        I'd love to get clarification about it (not from an LLM bot 😬)

      • jakaskerl Why not just use CV algos on the color image? You can convert it to grayscale using ImageManip node.

        I can't use the RGB camera as I have no visible light in the room. I can only use IR light

        jakaskerl Patterns will not be seen on the mono images.

        Does the OAK-D Short Range PoE with a ToF mono cameras even have night vision? As mentioned above, I don't have visible light I can only rely on IR light

        • I just received the OAK D W PRO and noticed that when using the IR dot projector, the mono images it produces show the pattern, making it impossible for us to use it for our computer vision algorithms. 

          1. Is there a workaround that will produce both high-quality depth and mono images without the pattern? (only using flood projection is not good enough as the quality of the depth is reduced)

          2. I also ordered the OAK-D Short Range PoE with a ToF camera:

            1. I want to make sure that when using the ToF feature, it doesn't affect the quality of the mono image, and the projected patterns will not be shown in the mono images.

            2. Night Vision - If I used an external IR floodlight, would the camera pick it up and produce images? Does the wavelength matter? If so, what's the recommended wavelength to avoid interference with the ToF sensor?
