Stereo pair front and rear custom application baseline
-
Hello, I am using the VOXL 2/FCv2 with front and rear stereo on a custom dev drone, I am curious if the baseline is recommended to be at 80mm for the stereo camera pairs or if it will affect it much if the baseline is closer to 40mm.
I am also curious if the front and rear baselines need to be the same for good results. Ideally, we would like to have high precision on closer objects so that would require a smaller baseline.
I have looked through the camera calibration process in the setup docs and searched the forum here haven't seen any information or elaboration on customizing the baseline from what's used in the m500 flight deck.Any suggestions or feedback would be appreciated!

@Gary-Holmgren Hi Gary, we do not have a recommended baseline. Generally you can measure distance ~100x baseline. So the wider the baseline, the further you can measure distance. The trade off is you lose near field perception the wider you go.
There is nothing atypical about the implementation on VOXL. If you search Google you will find abundant resources on stereo baseline.
