Depth camera sensor

Introduction

This chapter briefly introduces the depth camera on the ROS robot and teaches you how to get started quickly.

Orbbec Gemini 2 is a binocular structured light 3D camera equipped with Orbbec's new MX6600 depth engine chip. It features three depth operating modes, providing high-quality depth data for a variety of application scenarios. With a wide field of view, it offers a depth measurement range from 0.15 to 10 meters, and integrates auxiliary point ranging functionality, enabling zero-blind-spot depth measurement within a maximum range of 10 meters.

Depth camera usage

Get source code

git clone https://github.com/orbbec/OrbbecSDK.git

Alternatively, you can install via binary packages, please refer to installation guidance for more information.

Environment setup

• Linux:

If you installed via a debian package, you can skip the installation of the udev rules file. If not, please install it using the following commands:

cd OrbbecSDK/misc/scripts
sudo chmod +x ./install_udev_rules.sh
sudo ./install_udev_rules.sh
sudo udevadm control --reload && sudo udevadm trigger

Examples

The sample code is located in the ./examples directory and can be built using CMake.

Build

cd OrbbecSDK && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && cmake --build . --config Release

Run example

To connect your Orbbec camera to your PC, run the following steps:

cd OrbbecSDK/build/bin # build output dir
./OBMultiStream  # OBMultiStream.exe on Windows

The following image is the result of running MultiStream on the Gemini2 device. Other Devices run result maybe different.
