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.

The Basler Stereo Camera's performance features: Maximum compatibility through industry-compliant interface standards GenICam, GigE Vision, Rest API and ROS, HD mode, real-time capability, direct integration into robotic systems with Nvidia Tegra K1.

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

Effortless installation and intuitive operation thanks to Basler Stereo Camera's user-friendly web interface.

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.

Real-time estimation of camera position and orientation is made possible by combining stereo-based visual odometry and integrated inertial measurement system.

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.

Using the latest algorithms in visual inertial odometry, the Basler Stereo Camera records its current position and orientation with the highest precision.

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.
