Configure L515 camera without Windows computer

Follow
Katharina

I am working with the L515, but the quality of the depth data is poor for our purposes.

After doing some research, it seems like I can improve the data by configuring the camera. From what I understand, there are Windows programs that help me do that:

https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/tree/development#whats-included-in-the-sdk

* Do you have similar programs for OSx or Linux? 
* Can I do this using code? If so, can you point me to the functions I can use to configure the camera?

    Hello Katharina,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    The tools you mentioned are all included in the Librealsense SDK and the Linux Distribution can be installed here. Included in the SDK is a file that exposes all the options you can change: rs_options.h (this is part of the Python wrapper). 

    Here is a document that may be useful to you about optimizing the range on your L515. You can also refer to the L515 User Guide for more information. Please let us know if you need any further information.

    Regards,

    Thanks for the answer! The link to the rs_options.h file is really helpful. I also managed to build the intel realsense viewer for OSx and was able to test some of the configurations.

    Are those configurations saved on the camera once I've set them in the intel realsense viewer? Or are they only a "soft configuration" done by the software itself?

    If it is only a temporary change in the configuration - what is the preset like? Is the camera set to "short range" by default?

    Thanks!

    Hello Katharina,

     

    The configuration will back to default. The preset is set as "Default" when you launch the Realsense Viewer.

    I can't see "Default" as an option anymore when I launch the Intel Realsense Viewer. The only options I have are:

    • Custom
    • No Ambient Light
    • Low Ambient Light
    • Max Range
    • Short Range

    Is "Default" similar to any of the other presets? How can I restore the "Default" setting?

    Hello Katharina,

     

    When you launch the RealSense Viewer, the preset will automatically set to default (see attachment).

    I suggest you look at the use full tips In L515 User Guide on page 18.

    Hi Zulkifli,

    When I launch the RealSense Viewer, the preset does not automatically set to default. It automatically sets to "Max Range" and when I look at all the options in the drop-down menu, "Default" is not an option anymore. I attached screenshots of both.

    Thanks,
    Katharina

    Hello Katharina,

     

    The latest version of librealsense The L500 Default preset has been deprecated. l500-options.cpp line 522 ""RS2_L500_VISUAL_PRESET_DEFAULT was deprecated!" );"
