The issue occurs because the camera sensor outputs a resolution of 3088 × 2064, but the receiving side (V4L2 buffers) aligns each line to a stride of 3136 bytes for memory alignment. When OpenCV is used directly with cv2.CAP_V4L2, it applies the width setting (3088) both to the sensor and to the buffer interpretation. Since the actual buffer has padding (3136 vs. 3088), OpenCV misinterprets the data layout, which results in visible image artifacts (stripes).

We recommend using a GStreamer pipeline to handle the stride and alignment internally, so that OpenCV receives a clean image with the correct resolution.
