After some digging, I came across the qtiqmmfsrc GStreamer element. If I use this to get the video stream at 4000x3000 (video/x-raw, format=NV12), I get the same distortion shown above. However, if I request the H.264 stream (video/x-h264, format=NV12), I get a clear picture.
Below are the pipelines that I tested using the IMX412.
# Distorted Output
gst-launch-1.0 -e qtiqmmfsrc name=qmmf ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=4000,height=3000,framerate=30/1 ! \
omxh264enc control-rate=2 target-bitrate=6000000 ! h264parse ! \
matroskamux ! filesink location=43_raw.mkv
# Good Output
gst-launch-1.0 -e qtiqmmfsrc name=qmmf ! video/x-h264,format=NV12,width=4000,height=3000,framerate=30/1 ! \
h264parse ! \
matroskamux ! filesink location=43_h264.mkv
On a side note, the video's white balance from qtiqmmfsrc is better than when requesting images through voxl-camera-server. The video is extremely warm when delivered through voxl-camera-server, though I admit that I never looked into the configuration for this.
In any case, it looks like this is maybe an issue with Qualcomm's libs. I haven't yet looked further into the voxl-camera-server source, though I don't suppose there's been an update to the qmmfsrc or related libs that can be updated on the VOXL2, is there?
