Trying Arducam_Demo.py (python3 ArduCam_Demo.py -v --preview-width 1280 -f ) while changing FORMAT parameter from original config file ( **ArduCAM_108MP_MIPI_2Lane_RAW8_4000x3000_12fps.cfg)

  1. What help do you need?

I need to use Arducam 108Mp to get 4000x3000 and full res RGB or color RAW image using Python.

Hi Arducam,

For an industrial project i’m working on, I need color image from my 108Mp + Camera SHield USB3.
Based on arducam github demo repository and from example GUI on windows I an only able to get monochrome RAW image (with color deviation green, purple, etc.) or grayscale image.

I found other thread linked to this problem on the forum or elsewhere but no solution was provided.

Except this “color problem”, camera is working great either in 4000x3000 and full-resolution with Python on WIndows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04.

Really appreciate your help,

Regards,

Julien Baumeyer

This is because it has not been processed by the isp.

It is normal for the picture to be greenish. This is the original effect of the raw picture, which has not been processed.

We have docs to debug this effect.
