Stereo Cameras

3D Depth Cameras for Navigation, Mapping and Robot Arms

A depth camera built on stereo vision measures distance from two matched image sensors, giving a robot a 3D view of its surroundings for navigation, mapping and picking. With no active emitter it keeps working outdoors in sunlight, and the range runs from close-range cameras for robot wrists to long-baseline models that see tens of metres ahead.

Options include global shutter sensors for fast motion, wide and narrow lenses, polarizer filters for glare on glass and water, IP66 and IP67 housings and built-in IMUs for positional tracking, suited to autonomous mobile robots, manipulation, agriculture and spatial analytics where accuracy has to hold up on a moving machine.

Speak to a stereo camera specialist to match depth range, baseline and interface to your robot.

Stereo Camera Ranges Configured by Things Embedded

We work with Stereolabs, the maker of the ZED stereo cameras, so the ranges below are the depth cameras we specify for navigation, mapping and manipulation. Compare them by baseline and depth range, then browse the cameras above or ask a stereo vision specialist.

ZED X Stereolabs IP67 Stereo Cameras
Stereolabs

ZED X Stereolabs IP67 Stereo Cameras

Global shutter GMSL2 cameras with a 120 mm baseline, wide or narrow lenses and an optional polarizer, seeing depth out to 35 m.

ZED X Mini Stereolabs 3D Depth Cameras
Stereolabs

ZED X Mini Stereolabs 3D Depth Cameras

Short 50 mm baseline GMSL2 depth cameras for arms and small robots, sealed to IP67 with wide or narrow lenses.

ZED 2i Stereolabs USB Stereo Depth Cameras
Stereolabs

ZED 2i Stereolabs USB Stereo Depth Cameras

IP66 USB 3.0 depth cameras with an IMU, barometer and magnetometer, wide or narrow lenses and optional polarizer.

ZED Mini Stereolabs Mini Stereo Camera
Stereolabs

ZED Mini Stereolabs Mini Stereo Camera

Light USB stereo camera with a 63 mm baseline for headsets, small robots and close-range mapping.

Not sure which range fits? Tell us the application and we will recommend the right model.

What to Specify in a Stereo Vision Camera

Our vision specialists specify every stereo camera against the distances it has to measure, the motion of the machine and the host that processes the depth. These are the choices we work through with you.

Depth Range and Baseline

Short baselines resolve centimetres in front of a gripper; 120 mm baselines measure tens of metres ahead.

Lens and Field of View

Wide lenses cover more of the scene up close; narrow lenses keep depth accurate further out.

Global or Rolling Shutter

Global shutter avoids skew on fast robots and vehicles; rolling shutter offers higher resolution for slower scenes.

USB or GMSL2

USB 3.0 for development and short runs; GMSL2 coax for vibration, EMI and long cables on the machine.

Polarizer

A polarizer cuts glare from glass, water and polished metal that would otherwise break the depth map.

Sealing and Temperature

IP66 and IP67 housings for outdoor robots, with the operating range checked against the site.

Depth Camera Innovation & Robotics Insights

We specialise in stereo depth perception for robots and autonomous machines, from close-range cameras on robot arms to long-baseline cameras on outdoor vehicles. Our team of embedded system design engineers recommends and configures stereo cameras to the depth range, lens and interface your robot needs.
