Title: Starling 2 Max – Dual 12 MP RGB Cameras, ToF and Downward-Facing Image Capture
Hello ModalAI Engineering Team,
We are evaluating the Starling 2 Max for an agricultural computer vision application involving rose bud detection, counting, and phenological-stage classification.
Our intended workflow involves capturing high-resolution images above rose crops and processing them through our FloraVision AI platform.
We are particularly interested in the dual 12 MP RGB camera configuration, preferably with ToF capability (C29).
Could you please help clarify:
Which Starling 2 Max configuration provides the most suitable high-resolution RGB cameras for our application?
Is the C29 configuration currently supported, and what are its camera and depth-sensing capabilities?
Can the RGB cameras be configured for downward-facing image acquisition?
Can the platform capture full-resolution still images programmatically, rather than only video frames?
What camera controls are available through the SDK, including exposure, gain, image format, resolution, and capture timing?
Can captured images be associated with timestamps and available vehicle pose or localization metadata?
What onboard storage options and image-transfer interfaces are supported?
Can images be stored locally during a mission and transferred after landing without requiring continuous Internet connectivity?
We plan to process the images using a cloud-based computer vision pipeline. Real-time onboard inference is not an initial requirement.
We would appreciate links to relevant camera documentation, SDK examples, and supported hardware configurations.
Thank you for your assistance.
