Overview
The Yunshi Meta435 Camera is a binocular 3D structured light camera designed for RGB-D alignment and fusion at a 30 fps frame rate. It combines an IR laser emitter, infrared cameras, and a color camera to generate depth maps and RGB-D data for robotics and perception workloads. Typical working range is 19 cm–10 m (varies with environment), with outdoor sunlight scenarios noted up to 5 m.

Recommended Host Requirements (from platform support page)
- Ubuntu: Ubuntu 18.04 or later recommended; RV1108 or higher recommended; CPU frequency 600 MHz or higher recommended; 1 GB RAM or higher recommended; GPU 600 MHz or higher recommended; NEON acceleration support recommended
- Windows: CPU frequency 1.8 GHz or higher; 8 GB RAM or higher recommended
Working Principle
- The laser emitter projects an invisible speckle pattern onto the surface of the object to create a 3D pattern.
- The infrared camera module reads the speckle pattern on the object's surface, captures the infrared image, and sends the data to the processor/database.
- The color camera module is used for 2D RGB information extraction.
- The image processing chip combines the 2D color images captured by the RGB camera module with the depth information obtained from the infrared camera module.
- Through algorithmic processing, a 3D model is generated.
Applications
- Humanoid robots
- Robotic arms / intelligent robotic arm
- Exoskeletons
- Quadruped robots
- AGV vehicles
- ARU robots
- Drones

Details

Meta435 is a binocular 3D structured light camera built for RGB‑D alignment and fusion at up to 30 fps.

Designed to keep depth sensing stable in sunlight, with outdoor operation noted up to 5 m depending on conditions.


A 940 nm speckle projector and dual IR sensors compute depth, while the color camera adds aligned RGB detail.

Sample depth maps highlight use cases from indoor navigation to warehouse shelving and outdoor scenes.

A compact RGB‑D module like Meta435 fits common perception stacks for humanoids and mobile robots.


RGB‑D depth helps robotic arms localize objects and guide grasping with fused color and depth data.

Mechanical drawings provide dimensions and mounting options, including a 1/4"‑20 thread and M3 mounting points.
