The D435 stereo camera belongs to the new D400 series of depth cameras equipped with the D4 vision processor by Intel® RealSense. This Intel® RealSense camera combines a depth sensor and an RG sensor in an extremely compact and lightweight format.
The D435 stands out in particular for its depth sensor’s wide field of view, which reaches up to 86° x 57°
With its global shutter system, this 3D camera promises superior sensitivity in low-light conditions, it can therefore operate at night and in the dark
In well-lit environments, it benefits from a high frame rate (up to 90 frames per second), allowing slow motion and fast motion capture
The RGB sensor guarantees a frequency of 30 fps for capturing gentle, subtle movement and landscapes
D435 3D camera: a stereo solution for robot vision
Like all the cameras in the D400 series, the D435 camera is designed for inclusion in complete robotic, digital and electronic solutions, including:
Autonomous navigation on land and in the air
Augmented reality and virtual reality
Robotic surveillance applications
Facial recognition, etc.
In short, any robotic vision solution developed for industrial, medical or commercial use.
The D435 comes with version 2.0 of the Intel® RealSense software development kit. It allows video calibration in a few quick steps, and development of customised software solutions on an open-source platform that runs on the three main operating systems.
