Luxonis introduced the discharge of its latest DepthAI ROS driver for its stereo depth OAK cameras. The driver goals to make the event of ROS-based software program simpler.
When utilizing the DepthAI ROS driver, virtually every thing is parameterized with ROS2 parameters/dynamic reconfigure, which goals to supply extra flexibility to assist customers customise OAK to their distinctive use circumstances.
The DepthAI ROS driver is being developed on ROS2 Humble and ROS1 Noetic. This permits customers to benefit from ROS Composition/Nodelet mechanisms. The driver helps each 2D and spatial detection and semantic segmentation networkers.
The driver presents a number of totally different modes that customers can run their digital camera in relying on their use case. For instance, customers can use the digital camera to publish Spatial NN detections and publish RGBD pointcloud. Alternatively, with the DepthAI ROS driver customers can stream information straight from sensors for host processing, calibration and modular digital camera setup.

With the motive force, customers can set parameters for issues like publicity and focus for particular person cameras at runtime and IR LED energy for higher depth accuracy and night time imaginative and prescient. This permits customers to experiment with onboard depth filter parameters.
The driver permits encoding to get extra bandwidth with compressed photos and supplies a straightforward technique to combine a multi-camera setup. It additionally supplies docker help for simple integration, customers can construct one themselves or use one from Luxonis’ DockerHub repository.
Users can even reconfigure their cameras shortly and simply utilizing ‘stop’ and ‘start’ companies. The driver additionally permits customers to make use of low-quality streams and change to greater high quality after they want or change between totally different neural networks to get their robotic the information it wants.
Earlier this month, Luxonis introduced a partnership with ams OSRAM. As a part of the partnership, Luxonis will use OSRAM’s Belago 1.1 Dot Projector in its 3D imaginative and prescient options for automatic guided autos (AGVs), robots, drones and extra.
