Hi @JingKangSun,
In our kortex repo, we actually provide an example on how to disable the auto-focus : https://github.com/Kinovarobotics/kortex/blob/master/api_python/examples/500-Gen3_vision_configuration/03-vision_sensor_focus_action.py#L82-L86
To disable the auto-focus, you could modify the example to something like this
def example_routed_vision_do_autofocus_action(vision_config, vision_device_id):
print("\n-- Using Vision Config Service to disable the auto-focus --")
sensor_focus_action.focus_action = VisionConfig_pb2.FOCUSACTION_DISABLE_FOCUS
vision_config.DoSensorFocusAction(sensor_focus_action, vision_device_id)
print("-- Place or remove an object from the center of the camera, observe the focus doesn't change --")
example_wait_for_focus_action()
...
def main():
# Import the utilities helper module
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), ".."))
import utilities
# Parse arguments
args = utilities.parseConnectionArguments()
# Create connection to the device and get the router
with utilities.DeviceConnection.createTcpConnection(args) as router:
device_manager = DeviceManagerClient(router)
vision_config = VisionConfigClient(router)
# example core
vision_device_id = example_vision_get_device_id(device_manager)
if vision_device_id != 0:
example_routed_vision_do_autofocus_action(vision_config, vision_device_id)
# example_routed_vision_set_focus_point(vision_config, vision_device_id)
# example_routed_vision_set_manual_focus(vision_config, vision_device_id)
I do not know at the moment if this config is persistant after a reboot. If it is not, I suppose you could run it before you want to do a calibration
Looking at the web app, I see a "PAUSE AUTO-FOCUS" button (in Operations->Camera) that might be doing just that. I am unsure however. I have very little experience with the vision module.
Best, Felix
@JingKangSun Is there any good way to solve this? Thank you!
Hi,
I want to do a calibration on the camera of the kinova-gen3, however, I found that the camera open the auto-focus function.
How can I close this function?
Thanks.
