OV9282

OMNIVISION’s OV9282 is a 1MP global shutter grayscale image sensor. It’s used in almost all of our products (OAK-D, OAK-D S2, OAK-D Pro, OAK-D-PoE, OAK-D S2 PoE, etc.) as the stereo camera pair.

FFC compatibility

With OAK FFC boards you can easily evaluate different sensors and optics, as you can connect FFC camera boards to any OAK FFC baseboard (OAK-FFC-4P, OAK-FFC-3P) via a flexible cable. FFC camera boards are carrier boards for the CCM (additional information below), so it can easily be connected to any OAK FFC baseboard. The following FFC camera boards contain this sensor:

Sensor CCMs

Compact camera modules (CCMs) can be integrated directly into a custom product. CCMs are used in the final camera product. CCMs vary in optics and FPC connector. The following CCMs have been built using this sensor:

  • Sunny style long FPC:

    • NFOV FF (IR/NoIR)

    • WFOV FF NoIR (shop) - 150° DFOV, 127° HFOV, 79.5° VFOV

  • Arducam short FPC:

    • NFOV FF (PY003) - 89.5° DFOV, 80° HFOV, 55° VFOV, EFL: 2.35, F. NO: 2.0±5%, Lens Size: 1/4”

    • NFOV FF Notch filter 940nm (PY091) - 89.5° DFOV, 80° HFOV, 55° VFOV, EFL: 2.35, F. NO: 2.0±5%, Lens Size: 1/4”

    • WFOV FF (PY059) - 150° DFOV, 127° HFOV, 79.5° VFOV, EFL: 1.69, F. NO: 2.0±5%, Lens Size: 1/4”

    • WFOV FF NoIR (PY075WN) - 150° DFOV, 127° HFOV, 79.5° VFOV, EFL: 1.69, F. NO: 2.0±5%, Lens Size: 1/4”

    • WFOV FF Notch filter 940nm (PY097W) - 150° DFOV, 127° HFOV, 79.5° VFOV, EFL: 1.69, F. NO: 2.0±5%, Lens Size: 1/4”

Note

Series 1 OAK-D cameras (OAK-D, OAK-D-PoE, OAK-D-CM3, etc.) have Sunny’s long FPC NFOV IR OV9282 CCMs onboard, which have a bit narrower FOV - 81° DFOV, 72° HFOV, 49° VFOV.

Sensor driver

Sensor driver adds support for that sensor to the Robotics Vision Core (RVC). Here are RVC2 driver specifications for this sensor:

  • Min exposure times:

    • Manual: 10 us (microseconds)

    • Auto-Exposure: 20 us

  • Min FPS: 1.6

  • Max exposure times:

    • Manual: 1 / CAM_FPS (eg. 33ms @ 30FPS)

    • Auto-Exposure:

      • AntiBanding OFF: 33ms

      • AntiBanding 50Hz: 30ms

      • AntiBanding 60Hz: 25ms

Max AE exposure time depends on the Anti-Banding (AB) mode, which helps to avoid flickering when using artificial lighting. We can configure the AB using the API:

cam = pipeline.create(dai.node.MonoCamera) # Or ColorCamera
# "OFF", "MAINS_50_HZ", or "MAINS_60_HZ"
cam.initialControl.setAntiBandingMode(dai.CameraControl.AntiBandingMode.OFF)
