VD56G3 optical flow

[ketchyn]

Hi 
we are looking for optical flow sensor and try to configure VD56G3 camera for this purpose which is connected to rasberry pi 4.
I came across research artice which states that it does support optical flow using  MIPI CSI-2 interface.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.13087

However just looking at the user manual its not so clear how I can configure camera to output optical flow or displacement of  consecutive frames.
Are there any additional materials I can look at or maybe software tools, SDKs that will give any examples of how to do it?

Hi Ketchyn,

 

The optical Flow feature is currently not supported on our sensor we are working to make it available.

Thanks @CyrilTechPro  for your response 
I see in documentation that there is a possibility to add max BRIEF descriptios that are used in feature tracking and is a part of optical flow calculations. Is it something that will be enabled in future? 
Are there any suggestions for camera configuration if we write optical flow algorithm on our end?

Regards, 
Olex

Hi ketchyn,

 

This something we want to enable in 2025 but today the feature is not fully functional in the device.
