The features of the Basler stereo visard camera
The stereo visard cameras are optimized for image-guided robotics. With their pre-installed software, they are particularly suitable for object recognition applications, allowing a robot arm to reach into a crate, for example.
Stereo data processing
To enable robots to perceive their environment in real time, the left camera provides the base image. The depth image is created by triangulating the stereo images using the SGM method and serves as input for generating the point cloud and for 3D reconstruction. The confidence image provides the measure of confidence in the measured values for further processing.
Performance characteristics
Maximum compatibility thanks to industry-compliant interface standards GenICam, GigE Vision, Rest API and ROS
High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode for complex scenes with highly and weakly reflective objects
Real-time estimation of camera position and orientation by combining stereo-based visual odometry (SVO) and integrated inertial measurement system (IMU)
Nvidia Tegra K1 for direct onboard processing and evaluation of 3D data for direct integration into the robot application without additional hardware
Plug-and-play
The Basler Stereo Camera's user-friendly web interface enables effortless installation and intuitive operation. The stereo camera can also be connected and configured via Rest-API, ROS and GenICam. You do not need any prior knowledge or experience in image processing for this.
Onboard image processing in the camera
Thanks to an integrated graphics card, the depth images are generated directly on the camera and do not require any external computing power - an ideal requirement for mobile systems. Point clouds can be easily generated from the depth image.
Visual odometry
Using state-of-the-art visual inertial odometry algorithms, the Basler Stereo Camera captures its current position and orientation with the highest precision. The low latency enables direct integration into the control loop when the camera is mounted on a robot.
