Do we need to do anything special to enable Support for 12MP Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera ?
I have just ordered one but I have not received it yet.
I will let you know my findings.
2020 is almost over and I really need some time off. So please be aware, that there is no shipping between 22.Dec and 04.Jan. (But you could still place your order and save 7% with the coupon code 2020isover :)
Hey :)
I've got mine yesterday and already performed a few first tests. Unfortunately the Python library, which is used in the openscan interface does not support the full resolution yet, but I assume that it will be updated soon :) You see my current findings/comparison here: https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenScan/comments/gdeqay/hiqh_quality_raspberry_pi_camera_12mp_for/
I have also ordered an adapter ring for my Canon EF lenses and I am very curious about the results. I will post the updates as soon as possible.
Anyway, the image quality (especially sharpness and colors) are much better with the new camera and so I hope, that the resulting meshes and especially the textures should get notably better.
Anyway, I would be very happy to see your results and if you need any help with the software, just let me know.
@Sandro Bilbeisi Problem "solved" :) It is a GPU issue and I had to increase the internal GPU memory from 128 to 256 (on my Pi 3b+) and now it seems to work properly. I am still testing and will release an update if necessary, but so far everything is working fine with the current interface :)) (Except for the preview, which sometimes times out, but this is only a minor issue)
This means that the new 12MP camera is working with Openscan? :-)
Which lens is recommended? And can it be used with Raspberry Pi 4?
I want to build OpenScan and would like to use latest components if possible.
Yes it works, but I still need to test the coming update, as the better camera needs slightly higher delay times. I am currently using the telephoto lens, which works great, BUT the distance between object and camera is quite large (30-50cm+ for a 10cm object). I havent had any success with the standard wide-angle lens as the depth of field is very low. So, I am still looking for a good (and cheap) option, before posting any recommendations :)
