OV2311 Slow Frame rate using .capture()

Hi all,

I am using OV2311 with a Raspberry Pi Model B to grab some images and send them to a remote machine. I am using the .capture() method to grab frames, but the frame rate is slower than I expected. I am writing everything in Python.

I read through this blog post and ran arducamstill to check the sensor FPS, and it output 59 FPS.

I used this code to measure average capture time, which was ~25 FPS for JPEG encoding.

I am wondering if there is any faster way to get frames encoded as JPEGs.

What is the timing of these calls?

img = self.frame.as_array.reshape(self.height, self.width)
cv.namedWindow(header, cv.WINDOW_NORMAL)
cv.resizeWindow(header, 160, 130)
cv.imshow(header, img)
cv.moveWindow(header, x_pos, y_pos)

Hello there!

 

I’m using 0V2311 with RPI to grub some photos. However, I get error messages as below when I use this generic code.

import time
import picamera

with picamera.PiCamera() as camera:
camera.start_preview()
time.sleep(10)
camera.stop_preview()
