Stereo Image sensor selection

@Alex-Kushleyev We have been advised that the ov sensor modules for dfs are approaching end of life. Which camera options do you recommend we consider instead? Thank you for your help!

Hello @SKA,
The replacement for OV7251 in DFS use case (Depth From Stereo) will be AR0144 which is a 1280x800 resolution global shutter sensor, compared to 640x480 OV7251. The AR0144 camera is already available and we use for VIO (tracking) cameras.
You would probably want to use the micro-coax version of AR0144 (M0166) because it will be much more flexible in terms of getting the wiring connected to VOXL2 (so M0166 + M0173 (Starling Camera Front End). Different cable lengths are available to support different base lines.
Take a look at some camera bundle options : https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-coax-camera-bundles/
We are working on testing this configuration of dual AR0144 in DFS application and updating the DFS server to optimize performance. I expect to have an update in the next 1-2 weeks regarding the DFS performance.
