Speckle noise in ZR300

(reposted from https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/realsense/topic/703583 Speckle noise in color stream )

Hi all,

I've got a zr300 camera, and I'm seeing a weird phenomenon where I'm getting green speckles in the color images when there's something dark in an affected part of the field. Here's an example where the entire field is dark. You can see a diamond of speckles in the center, and scattered speckles out in the corners; averaging over many frames suggests a speckle distribution of that central diamond, followed by an annulus where there are no speckles, followed by more annuli that alternate speckles/ no speckles. The speckles are most prominent in the green channel, are also present in the red channel (mostly at different pixels), but are absent in the blue channel.

A co-worker who also has a zr300 reports similar behavior with his camera.

We've seen this on both linux (ubuntu 16.04) and windows, using both the SDK directly and the demo apps that came bundled.

I've been seeing the same in low-light conditions too with my SR300 camera

Hi Pablo,

I got the camera from my company, I'm in the process of going up the chain of custody to find out where it came from before I had it.

SDK version is 10.0.26.396 on windows.

I'm using the "Raw Streams" viewer in the sdk sample browser, showing the "RGB" stream with yuv2 640x480x30 color and "live" mode. Source code is whatever came pre-compiled in the SDK.

Computer is windows 10 (version 1607 build 14393.576), i7-6700k.
