ImageManip

ImageManip node can be used to crop, rotate rectangle area or perform various image transforms: rotate, mirror, flip, perspective transform.For downscaling, ImageManip uses the bilinear/bicubic interpolation.

How to place it

Python
C++

Python

Python
1pipeline = dai.Pipeline()
2manip = pipeline.create(dai.node.ImageManip)

Inputs and Outputs

React Flow

Usage

Python
C++

Python

Python
1pipeline = dai.Pipeline()
2manip = pipeline.create(dai.node.ImageManip)
3
4manip.initialConfig.setResize(300, 300)
5manip.initialConfig.setFrameType(dai.ImgFrame.Type.BGR888p)

Image formats supported

ImageManip node supports the following image formats (more info in PR here):
  • Input formats supported: RGB/BGR, planar/interleaved, YUV/NV12, RAW8 and GRAY8
  • Convert format to any other format mentioned above
  • RAW16 (uint16, depth output) supported, but without color conversion capability
Note that planar formats are faster to process, so interleaved images should be avoided (eg. NV12 input).

Limitations

Besides limitations mentioned above (unsupported frame formats), there are other limitations:
  • Due to HW warp constraint, rotating/warping can be done only on frames whose width values are multiples of 16
  • Maximum output width of a frame is 4056 pixels
