Overview

Intel® RealSense™ SDK 2.0 is a cross-platform library for Intel® RealSense™ depth cameras (D400 series and the SR300).

For other Intel® RealSense™ devices (F200, R200, LR200 and ZR300), please refer to the latest legacy release.

The SDK allows depth and color streaming, and provides intrinsic and extrinsic calibration information. The library also offers synthetic streams (pointcloud, depth aligned to color and vise-versa), and a built-in support for record and playback of streaming sessions.

Developer kits containing the necessary hardware to use this library are available for purchase at realsense.intel.com/buy. Information about the Intel® RealSense™ technology at realsense.intel.com

What’s included in the SDK:

Tools for harnessing your depth camera’s capabilities Including:

  • Intel® RealSense™ Viewer With this application, you can quickly access your Intel® RealSense™ Depth Camera to view the depth stream, visualize point clouds, record and playback streams, configure your camera settings and much more.

  • Depth Quality Tool This application allows you to test the camera’s depth quality, including: standard deviation from plane fit, normalized RMS – the subpixel accuracy, distance accuracy and fill rate. You should be able to easily get and interpret several of the depth quality metrics and record and save the data for offline analysis.

  • Other Debug Tools as can be seen in the tools directory

Code Samples to Start Prototyping Quickly These simple examples demonstrate how to easily use the SDK to include code snippets that access the camera into your applications.

Wrappers We provide a C, C++, Python, Node.js API, as well as integration with the following 3rd-party technologies: ROS, LabVIEW, OpenCV, PCL and more to come, including C#, Unity and Matlab.

Quick Start

Step 1: Download and Install

After installing the Intel RealSense SDK (on Linux \ Windows \ OSX), and connecting the depth camera, you are ready to start writing your first application.

Support & Issues: If you need product support (e.g. ask a question about / are having problems with the device), please check the FAQ & Troubleshooting section. If not covered there, please search our Closed GitHub Issues page, Community and Support sites. If you still cannot find an answer to your question, please open a new issue.

Step 2: Ready to Hack!

Our library offers a high level API for using Intel RealSense depth cameras (in addition to lower level ones). The following snippet shows how to start streaming frames and extracting the depth value of a pixel:

// Create a Pipeline - this serves as a top-level API for streaming and processing frames
rs2::pipeline p;

// Configure and start the pipeline
p.start();

while (true)
{
    // Block program until frames arrive
    rs2::frameset frames = p.wait_for_frames(); 
    
    // Try to get a frame of a depth image
    rs2::depth_frame depth = frames.get_depth_frame(); 

    // Get the depth frame's dimensions
    float width = depth.get_width();
    float height = depth.get_height();
    
    // Query the distance from the camera to the object in the center of the image
    float dist_to_center = depth.get_distance(width / 2, height / 2);
    
    // Print the distance 
    std::cout << "The camera is facing an object " << dist_to_center << " meters away \r";
}

For more information on the library, please follow our examples, and read the documentation to learn more.
