We have been working with the IMX214 image sensor on the Voxl and Voxl2, but we noticed there is a considerable difference in noise in the image between the 2 platforms, and also in the colour balancing.
for example these 2 images are taken using the same camera on a Voxl:

and the Voxl2:

more zoomed in for comparrison Voxl:

Is there a way to get the same image quality from both Voxl and Voxl2?
We use the default settings ( voxl-configure-cameras 8 ) where we only change the resolution to 3840x2160.

The same quality difference is also seen in the IMX412 camera. where on the Voxl1, The image has less noise/looks sharper than on the Voxl2
