Omg the world will end because of improper vocabulary 😅😂

I don't like that every modern smartphone has more MP and more cameras (2 is ok but i don't need a main camera, a wide angle, a macro, and a night vision). I'm ok with 1 camera, not more than 16MP (cheaper, and i don't need more)

The simplest explanation is that larger pixels are less prone to be disturbed by electrical noise and interference within the image sensor. That's one fundamental reason why large sensors are much better in low light level conditions, the other being that they can quite literally capture more light.

Hey Eric, many RPI-based/embedded applications can actually benefit from a small sensor with extra MPs.

@@ArducamOfficial Be great to see some examples of this

These days there's a second trick though... by boosting the pixel count you gain more information to send into image processing AI/algorithms. So even if there are extra artifacts they might be easier to correct versus trying to upscale.

Where have I heard that before? Didn't IBM say there was only a need for one super computer? 64MP is enough until 128MP is on the market.

Nice try.

it's the sensor size that matters

@@tonysheerness2427 108mp was on phones in like 2020 lol

@@tonysheerness2427 BIll Gates with 640kb of ram is what you're referring to

Hey Sean, the focus motor of this module is manually adjustable through software!

@@ArducamOfficial What's the best way to fix the diffraction haze issue?

need an adapter from Pi to full-size camera lenses

​@@QualityDoggo the crop factor will be massive

@@QualityDoggo Why? Its 1/1.7 sensor... you need much higher resolution lenses for those tiny pixel. Well, in reality no lens on earth can resolve them.. but even in binned pixel mode, you need lenses made for this sensor size.

You might try skanlite?

scanning? with what? for scanning old analoge films you are better off with full frame camera internals modified as scanner, and if you talk about final images in 10x15 or bigger... the results will be also "bad" and you are better off with a 50mm-100mm prime lens on any camera.

i bought longer ago a broken professional DSLR and torn it apart to use sensor and processing hardware, in addition with a sled, gearings and little bit tinkering i made partially automated for up to 35mm film digitalizing machine, as the super expensive models which are used professionally to convert old movies to digital (just way less automated and probably worse ofc) The end result were a ton of raws, inverted the colors and just made a movie out of it, each image a frame.

I can't program either. Would you be interested in partnering up with me to abondon the project before we even start it?

Learn how to program

Yea but he ignored how many people bought this and never could get it to work. Arducam left a ton of people hanging. In the end, it’s a buggy pos.

binning would still yield better results (unless you're stacking) due to how noisy sensors are at this pixel size.

HAHA nice. Sorry library.

Second on that pixel binning

Yeah my 27mpx shots on the 108 on my phone is more than enough and makes up for the small pixels

Hey Izzie, it does have pixel binning (2×2)!

you could get an Orange Pi.

It's the denoise feature being used at resolutions above 16MP causing a glitch.

Ive noticed that too. Running a Sony A6400 gives much noisier images when its 10 degree winter night vs when its 80+ degree summer day.

To me, it seems like the artifact of 60Hz lights in North America, as normal lighting flickers at 60hz, the average human cannot detect it (although iirc lights now don't do this as much), this flicker can cause issues with the camera

Just never believe marketing or "reviews" of populistic "youtubers" (not photographers!) A good example... a friend once wanted a good (!!!!) surround system... i have much experience with so we tried to find something. We found.. a nice Klipsch 5.1 system with big floor standing fronts, a big center and shelf speakers in the fitting driver size as the fronts and center,... 2nd hand "just" 1800€ Some days later... he said 1800 was too expensive for "old" (built 2008-2011 around!) speakers so he bought a new premium soundbar for over 1000€... Well... he tried to whitewash his stupid decision for years. Since a while, he admit it sounds bad and is not even close to worth 1000€+. I mean... thats what happens if you trust a channel which is just reviewing china crap and smartphones. Should be a sign already if someone "testing"/reviewing a soundbar in a completely UNDAMPENED room and is showing the sound off with faked 3D sound so headphone listeners can "hear" the surround... The sad thing.... "non audiophile" youtubers even reviewed like this 3000$ Soundbars like the Sennheiser Ambeo... As if i would test my huge 7.2 setup in a 10qm room barely fitting the speakers with me at all....

Supposedly ArduCam is working on a camera module with a global shutter. Not sure when it will be a reality though.

@@JeffGeerling The Arducam OV9281 has global shutter. It's B/W though but otherwise nice image. There's been some issues with that one as there was only Arducam closed source drivers but I think now maybe there's kernel and libcamera support? EDIT: there should be OV9281 modules from other manufacturers too.

Hey Tokiomi, we do have a couple of mono/color global shutter cameras.

Hey Jay, it's a bug caused by the denoise function in RPI's ISP, you can fix it by simply turning denoise off.

It seems like the Rpi/CM4 can only manage 1080p 30 fps

@@Jobey_99 you are 100% correct in regards to the normal camera interface, so you would need something external that can capture the video at a higher resolution and then encode it for the CM4, hence something like a capture card :)

i have done that with the 16mp version, it works well but the pi4 does not have the power to run a fcus stacking software at worthwhile speeds.

Another channel that reviewed this found the banding in shots that were taken outside in natural lighting too, so it might be something else entirely. Hopefully it can be addressed through a driver patch ukposts.info/have/v-deo/jIZoeIKfiI-Ezn0.html

@@Jaaxfo well shutter speed sync issues aren't dependent on light, but can affect the light introduced to the system. But looking at the link you provided, there's an update on what's causing it. The denoise feature is glitching when taking images at above 16 MP, so until it's fixed you get around this by turning the denoise feature off for anything above 16 MP

@@epmcgee Thanks for that insight

Yeah, it's almost never limited to artificial light sources when this happens. But yes, it's usually the result of either the shutter speed or any filter (hardware or software) refusing to play nice with available light frequencies. Interestingly enough, this also tends to be uniquely an artifact of CMOS and, less often, CCD sensor cameras. You *could* capture banding in images on film, but you had to do it deliberately through a combination of special equipment and special techniques. It's one of the reasons why there are still purists who insist that film is the only proper media for photography.

Oh nice! /me waves from afar :)

That's definitely a little bit. Apparently the yellow lines may be an artifact from some of the Pi's CSI pipeline... there's an option ArduCam mentioned that might be able to help.

Huh thats interesting I never guessed it would be the csi good to know

If you're talking about the banding it's down to a glitch in the denoise feature at resolutions above 16MP

Minecraft for those who don't know

Might or might not help with image quality (depends on post-processing), but there are definitely more possibilities for AI/ML-assisted vision with a Jetson.
