Auto IR Brightness

This example shows how to use the automatic IR brightness feature of the DepthAI Stereo Camera. The function set_auto_ir(auto_mode=True) enables/disables auto IR dot projector and flood brightness. If enabled, it selects the best IR brightness level automatically.

Can be set to continious mode, which will continuously adjust the IR brightness. Set to False by default and which will automatically adjust the IR brightness only at device bootup.

Note

Visualization in current example is done with blocking behavor. This means that the program will halt at oak.start() until the window is closed. This is done to keep the example simple. For more advanced usage, see Blocking behavior section.

from depthai_sdk import OakCamera

with OakCamera() as oak:
    left = oak.create_camera('left')
    right = oak.create_camera('right')
    stereo = oak.create_stereo(left=left, right=right)

    # Automatically estimate IR brightness and adjust it continuously
    stereo.set_auto_ir(auto_mode=True, continuous_mode=True)

    oak.visualize([stereo.out.disparity, left])
    oak.start(blocking=True)
