Capturing in Wide-Angle with the OAK-D Pro camera

If you haven’t already, please complete all the prerequisites outlined in our introduction to the OAK-D Pro camera before starting this tutorial. Refer to the guide to set up the OAK Device CHOP and OAK Select TOP components.

In this tutorial, we’ll program the camera to generate a wide-angle image using its vision system. To do this, replace the script in the Text DAT with the following code:

import depthai as dai

def onInitialize(oakDeviceOp, callCount):
	return 0

def onInitializeFail(oakDeviceOp):
	parent().addScriptError(oakDeviceOp.scriptErrors())
	return

def onReady(oakDeviceOp):
	return
	
def onStart(oakDeviceOp):
	return

def whileRunning(oakDeviceOp):
	return

def onDone(oakDeviceOp):
	return

def createPipeline(oakDeviceOp):
    pipeline = dai.Pipeline()
    cam = pipeline.create(dai.node.ColorCamera)
    xoutIsp = pipeline.create(dai.node.XLinkOut)
    xoutPrev = pipeline.create(dai.node.XLinkOut)
    xoutIsp.setStreamName('isp')
    xoutPrev.setStreamName('preview')

    cam.setResolution(dai.ColorCameraProperties.SensorResolution.THE_12_MP)
    cam.setInterleaved(False)
    cam.setIspScale(1, 2)
    cam.setPreviewKeepAspectRatio(False)
    cam.setPreviewSize(1280, 720)  # or any desired preview resolution

    cam.preview.link(xoutPrev.input)  # wide-angle output

    return pipeline

Once you've replaced the script:

1. Click the arrow next to the Stream parameter in OAK Select TOP.

2. Select 'preview' to visualise the wide-angle image.
