Intel D455 RealSense Depth Camera

The D455 is part of the Intel RealSense D400 series of cameras, a lineup that takes Intels latest depth sensing hardware and software and packages them into easy to integrate products.

Intels complete suite of solutions includes vision processors, turnkey modules, cameras, and SDKs, and computer vision libraries. Perfect for developers, makers, and innovators looking to bring the depth sensing vision to devices, Intel RealSense D400 series cameras offer simple out of the box integration and enable a whole new generation of intelligent vision equipped devices.

What is an IMU?

The inertial measurement unit (IMU) is used for the detection of movements and rotations in 6 degrees of freedom (6DoF). An IMU combines a variety of sensors with gyroscopes to detect both rotation and movement in 3 axes, as well as pitch, yaw, and roll. It is used in applications such as gaming and pointing devices as well as image stabilization.

Why IMU?

Adding an IMU allows your application to refine its depth awareness in any situation where the camera moves. This opens the door for rudimentary SLAM and tracking applications allowing better point-cloud alignment. It also allows improved environmental awareness for robotics and drones. The use of an IMU makes registration and calibration easier for handheld scanning system use cases and is also important in fields such as virtual/augmented reality and drones. When using the D455, our Intel RealSense SDK 2.0 provides IMU data that is time-stamped to align with our high-quality depth data.
