Depth sensors
Depth sensors changed the life of roboticists ! They make it much easier and quicker to spot objects. Robots can also react to the gesture of people thanks to skeleton extraction.
Stereolabs has released a new ZED 2 depth camera, a stereoscopic camera designed for tracking vehicles and people with a very wide field of view.
The ZED Mini is a stereoscopic camera intended for augmented reality and mixed-reality applications. In concrete terms, it can superimpose virtual reality objects on reality – and transform your world into an IRL video game!
It took 10 years of development and the creation of some D400 models for Intel® RealSense to ultimately produce one of the best depth cameras on the market. The D455 3D camera by Intel RealSense offers an increased range of up to 10 metres, while maintaining precise vision of both depth and colour.
The T265 tracking camera specialises in SLAM technology and rounds out the D400 series of depth cameras with its unique features.
This alternative to the D435 depth camera has added image stabilisation to its repertoire of features with the addition of a 6-DoF IMU.
The Intel® RealSense D435 is a depth camera with a wide field of view and a maximum range of up to 10 metres. It’s particularly effective in low-light environments.
The D415 camera is another member of the small family of depth cameras developed by Intel® RealSense. It’s designed for developers in need of high perceptual accuracy, even at a distance of several metres.
