Stereo Camera
Hello, i want to build a stereo camera. I choosed this camera -> https://de.ids-imaging.com/store/ui-3241le.html But now i need to know which lens i should take. It should have a S-Mount M12...
Hi,
I have used a similar camera from IDS. The problem is that you will need a camera with a really short focal length to match the Oculus FOV.
The FOV calculations can be made like this:
Horizontal FOV = 2*ARCTAN(SH /(2*FL))
Vertical FOV = 2*ARCTAN(SV /(2*FL))
FL = Focal length of lens
SH = Sensor horizontal (width)
SV = Sensor vertical (height)
The IDS cameras you link use a 1/1.8" sensor which gives the sensor size of 7.176 mm x 5.319 mm
Using the above calculations gives that the needed Focal length will be approx. 2 mm to be able to capture a 120 deg horizontal FOV.
