Explore development routes for DM-RGBD5002A and DM-RGBD5003A
DM-RGBD5002A for USB RGB and depth evaluation
The DM-RGBD5002A VGA ToF RGB-D depth camera combines VGA ToF depth and RGB imaging in a compact USB camera. Its development platform options include Windows, Linux, Android and ROS. Use its Rev. 1.0 data sheet and product specifications to start a host and camera configuration discussion around your application.
DM-RGBD5003A for depth maps, point clouds and RGB alignment
The DM-RGBD5003A VGA ToF RGB-D depth camera provides 16-bit raw depth / millimeter distance maps, spatial point clouds and depth–RGB registration / alignment. Its development options include a C/C++ SDK, Python wrapper and ROS 1 / ROS 2 packages, with OpenCV and PCL integration paths.
Match those options to the intended operating system, processor architecture and software version. For color-based processing with depth, plan image calibration, alignment, coordinate conventions, timestamps and concurrent stream modes as part of the acquisition pipeline.
Select an application path
| Application | How color and depth contribute | Evaluation focus |
|---|---|---|
| Robot perception | Color adds visual context to spatial distance samples | Detection zone, target size, motion and complete response timing |
| Machine vision and object inspection | RGB detail and depth geometry provide inputs for object processing | Materials, edge coverage, lighting and the required output |
| 3D reconstruction and measurement | Depth samples support geometric processing alongside color information | Calibration, registration and final measurement tolerance |
Start with our robotics and AMR guide for robot sensing tasks, or the volume measurement guide for parcel and object dimensioning. These paths help connect camera selection to installation and application evaluation.
