Problem / Question

In nxView we can see the stereo image and the projected pattern, but on the black surfaces the pattern appears very weak or barely visible. The corresponding regions in the disparity/depth view are missing or very sparse. Other, brighter objects in the same scene are reconstructed correctly, so the camera and basic setup seem to work. projector brightness is 100 % and exposure is in auto .

please help me on this . so i can see the black colored items from camera

Dear Jishnu,

Unfortunately, this is the main limitation of any optical system: objects that do not reflect light cannot be seen. This is especially true for our cameras. To make the stereo-matching work, the projected pattern must be visible.

There are a few things you can do:

  1. Check that none of the stereo-matching settings are responsible for removing too many points. Try disabling all thresholds, such as “Shadowing Threshold,” “Correspondence Thresholds,” and “Uniqueness Ratio.”
  2. Try setting the multi-exposure factor (“Capture” tab in the camera “Parameters” window in NxView).
  3. Set up or remove some external additional light.
  4. Share a file-camera so we can see these black objects.

Best wishes,
Grisha.

And even before that, if you haven’t already done so, you can start turning AutoBrightness/Target a bit higher, this can already help to lighten up the dark parts, without losing the bright ones. And then move on with the points above.
