Also, I have a question about settings. I would like to use the RealSense D415 outdoors with high accuracy setting? Are there any documents about these settings or a preset JSON file? Where can I find the documents for stereo control, advanced control, depth visualisation and postprocessing settings? I need the explanation of all parameters in those setting in order to try to tune them. I can't find any documents about this. Or, If there is a document for tuning the setting for outdoor usage, I will be thankful if someone would provide me it.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards

Intel has an illustrated camera tuning guide, which includes tuning for use outdoors in sunlight.

Hi Marty,
Thank you. I have found most of the settings for edge processing, good visualization indoor, post processing indoor, but I don't have any documents for outdoor usage. I saw the presentation and I have read the explanation about sunlight, but I need some suggestions for parameters settings.
Best regards

The easiest thing to do would be to have auto-exposure enabled and let the camera's Vision Processor D4 hardware component automatically handle the adjustments depending on current outdoor environmental conditions.

If you prefer to use manual settings outdoors, agrunnet, the Chief Technical Officer of the RealSense Group has some excellent advice in this link:
