Intel about readiness to sell a lidar camera for indoor use - model RealSense L515. The issue price is $349. Reception of preliminary applications is open. According to the company, it is the world's most compact and cost-effective computer vision solution. The Intel RealSense Camera L515 will revolutionize the market for 3D experiences and create devices never before seen with this technology.
High resolution and built-in data pre-processing processor, which, for example, will allow you to deal with blurring when the camera or objects are moving, makes it possible to use the camera not only as a stationary solution, but also with robotic or other smart equipment in the form of attachments.
Also, the RealSense L515 camera promises to find application in logistics. Importantly, the lidar maintains high resolution without the need for calibration over its lifetime. The device will help with the assessment of stocks of products with millimeter accuracy. Other potential niches for the RealSense L515 are healthcare and retail.
The Intel RealSense L515 lidar uses an MEMS mirror in combination with a laser. This made it possible to reduce the power of the laser pulse to scan the depth of the scene without sacrificing speed and resolution. Lidar reads space with a resolution of 1024 Γ 768 at 30 frames per second - this is 23 million point pixels in depth. At the same time, it consumes only 3,5 watts, which makes it tolerant of battery power.
The depth of space scanning in high resolution starts from 25 cm and ends at 9 meters. The accuracy of determining the depth of the scene is not worse than one millimeter. The weight of the RealSense L515 lidar is 100 grams. Its diameter is 61 mm and its thickness is 26 mm. The device is equipped with a gyroscope, an accelerometer and an RGB camera with a resolution of 1920 Γ 1080 pixels. Software development uses the same open source Intel RealSense SDK 2.0 as all previous Intel RealSense devices.
