RunCam Near IR

RunCam Near IR

My early near IR lens mods for the 808-16 were physical changes that were not repeatable with the ESP32-Cam in this post, https://www.cloudacm.com/?p=3986. I concluded that purpose-built lenses were better suited. Since this was the case, I opted to order a NOIR filtered lens for my RunCam2 4K camera. This would give me more “ready to use” features than coding another project for the ESP32-Cam. The lens I found online was for a CCTV camera with the following specs, 5MP…

Out of the depth and disparity

Out of the depth and disparity

This post will cover the concepts of image processing to generate and display image disparity or depth of field. This topic has been covered in earlier posts in regards to anaglyph imaging and OpenCV disparity mapping. The purpose of this post is to expand on this topic by demonstrating some features and limitations. Let’s start by leaving flatland. Flatland & the 4th Dimension – Carl Sagan This image is of a stereo card from the Missouri History Museum that is…

Slow Arduino IDE with ESP-32 Devices

Slow Arduino IDE with ESP-32 Devices

There is a noticeable difference on how long it takes for a sketch for the ESP-32 to compile when using a Windows based system, versus using a Linux based system. Depending on the sketch, this difference can be up to 10 times, which could frustrate developers. The suggestions online point to anti virus as the cause, with disabling the anti virus or adding exceptions as the workaround. Others recommend using Visual Studio instead of the Arduino IDE. This post will…
