Okay, finally we have a fix from the Raspberry Pi Foundation!
"sudo rpi-update" doing the patch we need.
I've tested this on both stock RaspiOS and SLP2.

Hi guys!

I'm setting up a StereoPi V1 for based on the stereopi-0-2-3 image that worked good for me in the past. I'm using two ov5647 cameras as provided in the kit because I need the wide angle lenses but despite of rpi-update I'm still getting a magenta coloured right picture:

Is there any way to get the colours right? Is this related to the OS version or the cameras? I'm basically running this two lines in a script (without the first one, raspistill hangs forever):

Code: Select all

vcdbg set awb_mode 0
raspistill -3d sbs --nopreview -w 2592 -h 972 -o /media/DCIM/3D.jpg"
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi Taki,

The magenta issue is usually belongs to Sony sensors, but you have OV5647. I guess in your case this is the "color disbalance" issue.

I have two ideas here:
1. You can try to change the "metering mode". It defines which part of the image is used for the color detection.
2. If you have a chance to post-process your photos - StereoPhotoMaker has an option to equalize color pallettes for both images in the stereoscopic pair. I've used this a lot for winter images.

Hi Realizator!

It's good to hear from you. I'll try your suggestions when I'm back from vacations!
