VOXL Stereo Sensor Datasheet
Dual OV7251 640x480 global shutter mono stereo pair, 85 degree FOV, hardware synchronized
This module is EOL. ModalAI image sensors have moved to a micro-coax format — the current tracking sensors are the AR0144-based MSU-M0166 (micro-coax) and MSU-M0149-1 (with cable).
Table of Contents

Stereo VGA monochrome (grayscale) sensor kit that plugs directly into VOXL® and VOXL Flight. With 2 cameras, and some computer vision processing, a depth map can be generated. With a depth map and location, obstacle avoidance can be achieved. This configuration is ideal for outdoor SLAM (Simultaneous Location and Mapping) applications. Uses OV7251 global-shutter, VGA imaging sensors.

VOXL 2 Integration
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Sensor type in voxl-camera-server | ov7251-combo (written to the camera server config as ov7251 with two camera IDs) |
| Standard camera configurations | C01, C03, C10, C11 (VOXL 2 platform config 0, stereo slot on J6 lower and/or J8 lower only). The configuration files select by sensor type; any ov7251-combo pair is treated the same. See VOXL 2 Camera Configurations. Run voxl-configure-cameras help on the device for the list shipped with your SDK release. |
| Connects to VOXL 2 via | M0010-1 stereo flex plus M0076, M0084 or M0135 adapter; M0008-1 flex plus the same adapters; or M0109-1 cable with no adapter (SDK 0.7 and greater) |
| Connects to VOXL 2 Mini via | Not supported. The M0010 stereo flex is not currently supported in the VOXL 2 Mini camera configurations (see VOXL 2 Mini Image Sensors) |
| Calibration | Not documented for this module. The Calibrate Cameras stereo example does not use the --fisheye flag; the 85 degree lens is not a fisheye. |
SDK 0.7 and greater. More information here.
