Resolution in frame buffer

Hi there,

I’m using a N6 PAG7936 with FW 4.8.1 and IDE 4.8.9.

When I run an example file with sensor.set_framesize(sensor.QVGA), the Frame Buffer (right side of IDE) is w:320, h:200 (displayed on top of histogram view). When changing to sensor.VGA, I get w:512, h:320.

Why isn’t it 320x240 or 640x480?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, it’s because the N6 scales the image down to a lower resolution for raw transport to the IDE.

Please install the latest IDE from here: Release Development Release · openmv/openmv-ide · GitHub

Any non factory IDE version. Then, click the Tools->Install the Latest Development firmware to get the pre-release v5.0.0 firmware. The examples have change around since v4.8.1 so you will need to pull them from here: openmv/scripts/examples at master · openmv/openmv · GitHub

I will have another release of the IDE next week that resolves the versioning issues and has the examples in sync with the firmware.

Hi @kwagyeman , I’m running on a N6 with firmware v5.0.0 and ide 4.8.11 and still have the problem raised by @ok_soul. Does it means the the problem isn’t jet fixed or that despite firmware/Ide version the real size of image by N6 will be always less that expected?
Tks Roberto.

Hi, The N6 will pass through the correct full size res with OpenMV IDE in RAW mode up to about 800x600. Then it scales it. In JPEG mode it will always be the correct size.
