Overview
Intel RealSense D400 series depth camera options (D415, D435, D435i, D435f, D435if, D455) integrate the Intel RealSense vision processor D4 and use stereo vision (active binocular stereo vision) to calculate depth and perceive the surrounding environment in real time. These cameras are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, and can be integrated into ROS robotics projects, drones, and AR/VR applications.
Note: Two packaging box styles may be shipped randomly; the difference is only the appearance of the packaging box, with no difference in configuration.
Key Features
- Built-in Intel RealSense vision processor D4.
- High-resolution image sensor.
- Dedicated color image signal processor.
- Supports Intel RealSense SDK 2.0 (cross-platform, open source).
- D435f/D435if: infrared pass filter (IR infrared transmitting film) for improved interference resistance under specific ambient lighting conditions and improved depth noise (visual interference) performance.
- D435i/D435if/D455: IMU (inertial measurement unit) inside.
- Typical application labels include: facial analysis, target tracking, augmented reality, 3D scanning and printing.
