Design path for engineering applications with human-like vision
Intel® RealSense™ depth cameras enable applications to interact intelligently and safely with its environment but deciding which one is best can be tricky.
Why 3D is necessary?
- Provides greater information than standard 2D camera
- Need for human-like vision (steroscopic vision)
- Requires the ability to understand the working environment in 3D
Shown is 2D image of a circle and 3D image of circle with depth
Different kinds of sensor technology to consider:
1. Rolling Shutter – Records all the pixels in a scene
- Depth Camera D415 is best solution
2. Global Shutter – Snapshots the whole scene in a single frame
- Depth Camera D435 & D455 is best solution
3. Laser Triangulation – Laser beam passes undisturbed/scans when the shutter is open
- LiDAR Camera L515 is best solution
How much do you need to see or field of view?
- 64˚ – Depth Camera D415
- 86˚ – Depth Camera D435 & D455
- 70˚ – LiDAR Camera L515
Minimum and ideal range that's required
(shows person walking closer then away)
- 7cm – 50cm Depth Camera D405
- .45m – 3m Depth Camera D415
- .28m – 3m Depth Camera D435
