I have a little question to the people experimenting with stereo vision:
Is there a possibility to send images from a Pixy to a Pixy at a reasonable frame rate (15Hz) to have stereo vision? Or is this computationally too expensive for the pixy processor and a 3rd processor is needed anyway?
Thanks!
Hi Basil,
This is possible, but might be a bit constrained. Depending on what mode you have Pixy in, you’ll either get 640x400 images at 50fps, or 1280x800 images at 25fps. Even the smaller (raw) 640x480 image would be too large to transfer quickly to another Pixy, unless you downsampled it quite a bit. We’re considering compression options for the images to help with this, but we haven’t made any progress on this yet with all of the other items on our to-do list. Hopefully soon though!

Hi Scott,
thanks for your answer. We’ll probably go with a solution involving a 3rd board. But I am looking forward to see your work on compression and everything.
Best,
Basil
