Overview

DM-RGBD5003A gives your vision pipeline RGB images, VGA ToF distance data and X/Y/Z point clouds. Depth–RGB registration connects color information with spatial geometry, allowing your software to use visual appearance and three-dimensional coordinates together when assessing object position, shape and dimensions.

Use its 0.2–5 m working range for indoor and semi-outdoor robot perception, machine vision, volume measurement or gesture interaction. USB 2.0 connectivity and C/C++, Python and ROS 1 / ROS 2 integration options help you bring camera data into your host workflow, with OpenCV and PCL compatibility for image and point-cloud processing.

Integration Requirements

Hand off RGB-D data to the host

Keep the distance scale, calibration and frame timestamps with each capture. Select a depth-map or point-cloud workflow around the host algorithm, and preserve invalid-data handling during conversion. RGB-depth registration relates color to geometry; the timing of the selected streams belongs in the capture plan.

Before applying a robot-coordinate transform or measuring an object, check the coordinate axes, units and observation time used by the application. Our robot perception guide connects depth data to the host pipeline, and the RGB-D guide explains color-depth correspondence.

Choose the data your application needs. VGA ToF depth maps provide up to 640 × 480 spatial distance samples, RGB images add visual detail, and X/Y/Z point clouds provide three-dimensional coordinates for geometric processing. Depth–RGB registration lets you relate color information to depth geometry.

Our development options include C/C++, a Python wrapper, ROS 1 / ROS 2 packages, and OpenCV and PCL compatibility. Tell us your host platform and framework so we can discuss the package and configuration for your project. For moving scenes, include stream timing and calibration in the integration plan.
