Intel D455 RealSense Depth Camera

Twice the range. Better performance.
Introducing the latest addition to the family, the Intel RealSense Depth Camera D455. The D455 is the fourth in the D400 series, designed from feedback and knowledge gained from over 10 years of stereo camera development.

The D455 extends the distance between the depth sensors to 95 mm which improves the depth error to less than 2% at 4 m.

A perfect pair.
To improve the RGB image and the correspondence between the depth and RGB images, the RGB sensor includes a global shutter and is matched to the depth FOV.

An IMU inside.
The camera integrates an IMU to allow your application to refine its depth awareness in any situation where the camera moves. This allows improved environmental awareness for robotics and drones.

Collision Avoidance

Longer range for better collision avoidance.
Faster moving autonomous robots require better and more accurate collision avoidance capabilities. A wide field of view and longer range depth camera makes operation in a changing environments easier and safer.

3D Scanning

Tightly integrated RGB and depth streams for better quality scanning.
Adding a global shutter to the RGB sensor and increasing the field of view to match the depth allows for improved correlation between the color and depth information.

Digital Signage

Longer range depth for touch free displays.
Interactive digital displays in public spaces are increasing in popularity. The longer range D455 provides reliable touch free gesture control and interaction from a greater distance.

Volumetric Measurement

Easy multi-camera setup for volumetric content creation.
Indoors or outdoors, multiple D455 cameras can be used together. A longer range allows for real-time scene capture at up to 90 frames per second.

Self Calibration
Stereo depth cameras like the Intel RealSense D400 series are based on calculating depth from stereo vision - that is, two sensors separated by a known baseline. Those two sensors or imagers are built to be very sturdy, with laser-fused steel cages designed to help maintain calibration and performance over their lifetime. This is extremely important, since performance is dependent on the known spacing between the two cameras; the algorithm that calculates depth for every pixel needs that specific piece of information to accurately understand a scene.

Innovative Industry Leading
While the cameras are designed to maintain this calibration throughout their lifetime, there are some conditions which can lead to degradation of the calibration over time, such as exposure to extreme temperature cycling, excessive shock or vibration. These can lead to two different distortions - extrinsic distortions which relate to the microscopic bending of the stiffener on which the sensors are mounted, and intrinsic distortions which are caused by microscopic shifts in the sensor lens positions.

The new Intel RealSense on-chip calibration allows you to run an exact health check on the system, to make sure the sensors are performing in the optimal range. This number is a complete indication of the calibration health of the device and can be tracked over time. The Self-Calibration feature also allows you to run a re-calibration as quickly as 0.6 seconds - the camera depth can be recovered to near-perfect performance in less than a second. With no need for targets, checker pattern walls or complex setup like specific motion paths for the camera or the need for the camera to be static, self-calibration is extremely simple, just call an on-chip function.

All these features are now embedded into the updated firmware on board the camera's vision processor, without needing compute from whatever host platform the camera is attached to. If the health check process determines that the new calibration data is superior to the old, the updated and improved calibration data can then be burned directly to the flash memory, for improved performance moving forward. This applies to all existing cameras in the D400 series - just update your firmware following the instructions in the Intel RealSense Documentation.


Computer vision in robotics comes into focus.
In the last few years demand for computer vision technology that reliably works and performs across a variety of conditions has grown rapidly. Learn more about how robots see and understand the world.

Build once, deploy to any device.
The D455 uses the same open source Intel RealSense SDK 2.0 as all other current generation Intel RealSense Depth Cameras, which is platform independent, supporting Windows, Linux, Android and macOS. This includes wrappers for many common platforms, languages and engines.
