Thanks both! Totally agree with the comments here.
So serendipitously ArduCam reached out actually to offer to support other camera modules. And so with a crazy-short turn afforded by ArduCam, I am excited to already mention we are working on support for everything requested in this thread:
- IMX378 with M12 lens mount (Github issue)
- OV9281 (also works with OAK-D) with M12 lens mount. (Github issue)
- OV9282 FishEye camera module with 155HFOV (Github issue)
So this means we can make an OAK-D variant that is entirely M12-mount compatible! How cool!
M12-mount OV9281 used on existing ArduCam dual-camera solution:
155-degree HFOV fisheye for enabling SLAM use-cases:
So @ghawkins with this 155HFOV module on OAK-D, this would the ideal SLAM solution you were asking about.
And @Katherine_Scott this combination allows the awesome flexibility you mention from M12 mount capability, while also allowing pre-calibrated camera intrinsics for more SLAM application with the integrated FishEye 155 HFOV module.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Brandon
