RealSense™ D400 Product Family
intel RealSense™ D400 Product Family

Intel® RealSense™ Depth Camera D400 Series is designed to equip devices with the ability to see, understand, interact with, and learn from the environment. The D400 Series includes ready-to-use cameras that can be easily added to your existing prototypes via USB, Depth Modules that can be integrated directly into product designs, Vision Processors and Vision Processor Cards to process the raw data from the RealSense™ Cameras, and Intel® RealSense™ SDK (Software Development Kit), an open-source, cross-platform Development Suite including libraries, wrappers, sample code, and tools.

RealSense™ Depth Cameras use stereo vision to calculate depth. The stereo vision implementation consists of a left imager, a right imager, and an optional infrared projector. The infrared projector projects a non-visible static IR pattern to improve depth accuracy in scenes with low texture. The left and right imagers capture the scene and send raw image data to the Vision Processor, which calculates depth values for each pixel in the image by correlating points on the left image to the right image, and via shift between a point on the Left image and the Right image. The depth pixel values are processed to generate a depth frame. Subsequent depth frames create a depth video stream.

What is a Machine Vision System?


Machine Vision System consists of integrated components designed to utilise information gathered from digital images to aid in effective and efficient manufacturing and production operations.


What is a 3D Machine Vision Systems?


A 3D vision system is a type of technology that uses cameras and specialized software to capture and interpret 3D images of an object or environment. It allows a robot or other automated system to "see" and understand its surroundings in three dimensions, enabling it to navigate and interact with the world more effectively. 3D vision systems are often used in applications such as robot navigation, object recognition, and assembly tasks.

Types of Machine Vision Systems


There are several types of machine vision systems, including:

1. 2D Machine Vision:

This type of machine vision system uses cameras to capture two-dimensional images, which are then processed to extract information.

2. 3D Machine Vision:

This type of machine vision system uses cameras or laser-based systems to capture three-dimensional images, which are then processed to extract information about the shape, size, and position of objects.

3. Industrial Machine Vision:

This type of machine vision system is used in industrial applications such as quality control, process control, and robotic guidance.

4. Medical Machine Vision:

This type of machine vision system is used in medical applications, such as diagnosing diseases and monitoring patient health.

What’s the difference between a 3D Vision System and a 2D Vision System?


A 3D vision system is able to capture and interpret 3D images of an object or environment, while a 2D vision system is only able to capture and interpret 2D images. This means that a 3D vision system is able to provide more information about the shape, size, and position of objects in its field of view, allowing a robot or other automated system to navigate and interact with its surroundings more effectively. By contrast, a 2D vision system is only able to provide information about the brightness and contrast of objects in its field of view, which is less useful for applications that require spatial understanding.

How does a 3D vision system work?


3D vision systems typically consist of one or more cameras that are mounted on a robot or other automated system. These cameras capture images of the surrounding environment, which are then processed by specialized software to create a 3D representation of the scene. The software can then be used to identify and track objects, detect features and patterns, and calculate the position and orientation of objects in the scene.

What are Machine Vision System applications?


3D vision systems are used in a wide range of applications, including robot navigation, object recognition, inspection, and assembly tasks. Some common examples of these applications include:

Robot navigation:
3D vision systems can be used to provide robots with a 3D representation of their surroundings, allowing them to navigate through complex environments and avoid obstacles.
