This should be required viewing for all engineering students. Some of this<br>
stuff in this 22min video took me a decade to learn!<br>

Subject: [Dprglist] A week of depth cameras...<br>
Message-ID:<br>

<br>
Last week at RBNO, Ray brought up the new ST's VL53L5CXV0GC/1 multi zone<br>
ToF LiDAR sensor (max range: 4 meters, resolution: 8x8. FOV: not specified,<br>
cost: VL53LCX-SATEL breakout board $20 at DigiKey or X-NUCLEO-53L5AI<br>
daughter board at Mouser for $36.25). This one would take some<br>
experimenting to evaluate.<br>
<br>
I attended a Terabee webinar on Wednesday that featured their new 3Dcam VGA<br>
industrial camera (max range: 5 meters, resolution: 640x480, FOV: 90x67.5<br>
deg,, speed: 30 fps, cost: $1065 at Mouser - not stocked). Pricey, but real<br>
nice. They do offer a non-industrial camera with less resolution (80x60<br>
pixels), for $303.<br>
<br>
The Terabee offering seems inferior to the OpenCV OAK-D-LITE (max range: 18<br>
meters, resolution: 640x480, FOV: 72.9x57.7 deg, speed: 30 fps, cost: ~$90.<br>
builtin AI: Movidius) offering that is currently on KickStarter. This is<br>
the one I'm going with. I should mention that unlike the other depth<br>
cameras discussed, it isn't a LiDAR ToF based system.<br>
<br>
This morning Sparkfun highlighted Cygbot's Dual Solid-State TOF LiDAR,<br>
CygLiDAR D1, in an email (max range: 2D- 8 meters/ 3D- 2 meters,<br>
resolution: 2D- 0.75 deg / 3D- 160x60, FOV: 2D- 120 deg / 3D- 120x65 deg,<br>
speed: 15 fps, cost: $170). The short 3D range is a concern and it didn't<br>
change my mind, I could get 2 OAK-D-LITEs during the Kickstarter campaign<br>
for the same cost. After the Kickstarter campaign for the OAK-D-LITE is<br>
over and the price goes to $150, this one could be a contender if you<br>
really wanted a LiDAR ToF solution.<br>
<br>

Thanks for the summary. I was going to focus on the Intel real sense,<br>
but with the real sense line being discontinued I was looking for other<br>
possible choices. I've been debating for a while which route to go and<br>
I've decided on Oak-D-Lite. Backed the Kickstarter today.<br>

For completeness, there is also the lineup from Espros.<br>
I started experimenting with the epc611 module, available in two<br>
configurarions, one for range finding<br>
<a href="https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/espros-photonics-ag/TOFrange-611/10516871" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/espros-photonics-ag/TOFrange-611/10516871</a><br>
and the other for imaging<br>
<a href="https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/espros-photonics-ag/TOFcam-611/10516851?s=N4IgTCBcDaIKYAcDGA2AjGkBdAvkA" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/espros-photonics-ag/TOFcam-611/10516851?s=N4IgTCBcDaIKYAcDGA2AjGkBdAvkA</a><br>
(same chip and same driver, just configured differently for the<br>
application and the housing). Has an 8x8 ToF sensor, easy to interface<br>
driver. Got it hooked up to a Nucleo-32 evaluation board and it works<br>
rather nicely - biggest issue was figuring out how to configure the CRC<br>
to match the driver.<br>
<br>
The big brother (and fairly new) is the epc635 with 160x60 sensor field:<br>
<a href="https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/espros-photonics-ag/TOF-CAM-635/10516857" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/espros-photonics-ag/TOF-CAM-635/10516857</a><br>
I have no experience with this one.<br>
<br>
If I ever manage to attend one of your RBNO meetings (still business<br>
hours on my end) I can give a demo.<br>
<br>
Have fun,<br>
Markus<br>
