Intel launched the world's smallest high-resolution lidar, priced at only $349

In this year 9 Hosted by xinzhixun in August “ The fusion · innovation ——2019 Biometric technology and application Summit Forum ” Activity , Intel RealSense He huogao, the sales director of the business department in China, once revealed , At the end of this year, Intel will release the industry's low-cost LiDAR（ Laser radar ） Solution RealSense L515.

Time interval 3 Months later, , In recent days, , Intel officially released RealSense L515, This is a small high-precision laser scanning product designed mainly for room applications , It can help compact intelligent devices accurately scan and create the surrounding world 3D Point clouds .

According to introducing ,RealSense L515 The diameter of is 61mm、 Thickness only 26mm、 Weight only 100g, Very small , It can be integrated into intelligent hardware , It can also be installed on handheld devices for mobile use .

Although intel RealSense L515 Very small , But it can provide high-resolution 3D In depth information , It is equipped with a 1920 x 1080 @ 30fps RGB sensor , One 1024 x 768 @ 30fps depth （ToF） sensor , And provided by Bosch BMI085 Inertial measurement unit （ Accelerometers and gyroscopes ）. Besides , Intel also developed itself MEMS Micro galvanometer system , Allow the laser to scan the scene with low power .

Intel Express , Although the power is less than 3.5W, but RealSense L515 Can still support 0.25 ~ 9m（0.8 ~ 30 feet ） The scope of work , have 70° ±3° × 43° ±2° Of RGB field , as well as 70°±2° × 55°±2° Depth field of view . Can be as high as 2300 Scanning scene of 10000 depth data points .

Besides , As low as 4ms The delay from photons to depth information feedback , Make it have enough response ability for autonomous applications , Plus its built-in visual processor can minimize motion blur , Fast 、 Accurately capture high-speed scenes , For example, gesture recognition and hand tracking .

Intel Express ,RealSense L515 Once calibrated during manufacturing , There is no need to recalibrate later .

Last ,L515 Support the same RealSense SDK 2.0、 And has obtained the open source license , compatible Windows、Linux、Android and macOS platform , as well as Unity、Unreal、Unreal、Python And so on .

In conclusion , Intel RealSense L515 It should be the smallest high-resolution lidar at present , And the power consumption is also very low , And the price is only 349 dollar . At present, intel RealSense L515 Has started accepting reservations , It is expected to be next year 4 Delivery in the second ten days of the month .

Intel expects this product to play an important role in the logistics industry , For example, with the help of RealSense L515 Zizong tracks inventory 、 And carry out accurate volume measurement of products , Other applications include 3D scanning 、 retail 、 Healthcare and robotics .
