      Hi @SKA
      Alex's instincts are correct, we do not have a smaller plug in board for just tracking in a synce'd config. We only had an M0155 for one image sensor for a while, so your best bet is what Alex said and get the new M0188 for VOXL 2 Mini (VOXL 2 uses M0173, whereas VOXL 2 Mini uses M0188)
      It's quite cost competitive for what it does!!

      DFS undistort issue

      @SKA , this is most likely due to the max disparity value being too large - for 1280x800 resolution the maximum value is 32.

      the max disparity parameter limit is as follows:

      width <= 640 : max disparity = 64 (or less, in steps of 4) 640 < width <= 1280 : max disparity 32 (or less in steps of 4) 1280 < width <= 1920: 16, 12,8, or 4

      So in your case, you should update your max disparity parameter to 32 or less.

      I have been testing AR0144 DFS recently and i also found that i needed to increase the min_threshold and cost_threshold from the default of 10 that was used for OV7251. I found that values in the range of 50-80 produced good results.

      Here is some additional information regarding DFS:

      min_threshold:
      Lower bound for adjusting occlusion cost threshold.
      When set to < cost_threshold, the occlusion penalty
      is varied linearly from this minimum value from the first row
      to the last row.
      The last row takes cost_threshold.
      Range: 0 to 100
      Recommended range: 50 to 75
      min_threshold <= cost_threshold

      cost_threshold:
      Occlusion cost threshold.
      The higher the value, more smoothness is enforced.
      Range: 0 to 100
      Recommended range: 50 to 75

      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.

      @SKA What pipes do you see listed in /run/mpa? If you run the command voxl-inspect-vio does it show that VIO is running okay?

      @SKA Yes, VFT is actually deprecated in 1.4.1

      Please replace your ovins config with this and give it a try:
