OV9782

OMNIVISION’s OV9782 is a 1MP global shutter color image sensor. It’s optionally integrated into OAK Series 2 Wide FOV cameras; OAK-D W, OAK-D W PoE as the 150° DFOV color camera. OV9782 is essentially the same sensor as OV9282, it just has a color bayer filter on top of it.

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 (shop) - 89.5° DFOV, 80° HFOV, 55° VFOV

  • Arducam short FPC:

    • NFOV FF (PY074) - 89.5° DFOV, 80° HFOV, 55° VFOV, EFL: 2.35, F. NO: 2.0±5%, Lens Size: 1/4”, IR filter

    • NFOV FF (PY186) - 89.5° DFOV, 80° HFOV, 55° VFOV, EFL: 2.35, F. NO: 2.0±5%, Lens Size: 1/4”, IR bandpass filter (@ 940nm)

    • WFOV FF (PY058) - 150° DFOV, 127° HFOV, 79.5° VFOV, EFL: 1.69, F. NO: 2.0±5%, Lens Size: 1/4”, IR filter

    • WFOV FF (PY139W), 3.5cm long connector - 150° DFOV, 127° HFOV, 79.5° VFOV, EFL: 1.69, F. NO: 2.0±5%, Lens Size: 1/4”, IR filter

IMX214 and OV9782 sensors used on RAE

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: 5 us (microseconds)

    • Auto-Exposure: 105 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.ColorCamera) # Or MonoCamera
# "OFF", "MAINS_50_HZ", or "MAINS_60_HZ"
cam.initialControl.setAntiBandingMode(dai.CameraControl.AntiBandingMode.OFF)
