Solved: Indoor LED panels/lamps are disturbing our depth image

MLars14 · ‎05-07-2019

Hi!

We have a fixed installation of our RealSense detector and the whole room is filled (in the ceiling) with led lamps, and our problem is that the depth-image is really noisy.

We believe that there is something with the LED-lamps is sending some kind of 50Hz-disturbance.

We have tried to switch between 30 fps to 60 fps, but there is no difference.

Do you have any suggestions on how to solve this issue with the depth image?

Best Regards

Mikael W

In situations where the camera image is very noisy, turning auto-exposure off and setting your own manual exposure and gain values may help to improve the image.

For example, in outdoor bright-light situations, exposure can be reduced to around 1 ms.

In photography, LED lights are used to simulate the sun in low-light conditions, so the advice about sunlight in this link may be applicable to the indoor LED lighting in your location.
