Using D415 to build a 3D handheld scanner ?

Hi

 

Just bought a D415 trying to build my own handheld scanner.

 

Anyone have did it before ? Is it possible ? If so, what kind of API did you use [Don't want to reinvent the wheel if there is a solution out there right ;) ] ? Any pointer is great since I am kinda lost atm.

 

Cheers :)

A handheld scanner called Sense 2 was created a few years ago, based on the previous-generation RealSense SR300 model. RealSense cameras are available as caseless circuit boards as well as the USB cased camera models, making them suitable for companies or individuals who want to incorporate the cameras into their own products without using Intel's casing design.

If you bought the cased $149 USB version of the D415 then you could attach to the base of it the tripod that is supplied with the camera, fold up the tripod legs and hold the tripod in your hand so you can move the camera around.

 

If you bought the caseless D415 'Module Kit' circuit board version of the camera then the parts you would need are:

 

  • The camera module board (the part with the sensors on)
  • A Vision Processor D4 board (the part that does processing of camera data)
  • A means to create a bridge between these two boards so they can communicate. this can be a custom-made flexible cable or a pre-made 'interposer board' that acts as a rigid connector between the two.
  • Some form of casing, perhaps a custom 3D-printed one

 

The discussion linked to below may be useful to you.

In regard to an API, the RealSense SDK 2.0 software is open source and so you could adapt it to your needs.
