Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on a project using a Raspberry Pi 4b with a Pi Camera v3, and I'm experiencing some challenges. I'm facing significant distortion issues and the notorious 'jello effect' in my recordings. I'm quite new to using the Picamera2 library and this camera, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Here's a brief overview of what I'm trying to achieve: I need to get the most stable video possible because I plan to process the footage with graphic computation and ML algorithms. If necessary, I'm open to post-processing the video, but I would prefer to improve the capture quality during recording.
The camera is slightly cushioned to minimize vibrations, but I suspect there's room for improvement in this physical setup. I've tried both autofocus and manual focus settings, but the problem persists regardless.
Below is a snippet of the current camera setup code I'm using:In addition to the Pi Camera v3, I've also purchased the 'Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera' along with a '6mm wide angle lens' to experiment with different hardware setups for my project. I'm hoping that this new combination might help reduce the issues I'm encountering, but I'm still experimenting with the best configurations. Any experiences or advice with these components would also be very helpful.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to configure the camera settings or physical setup to reduce these effects? Thank you in advance for your help!
