RealSence R200 and LabVIEW

[Ash_G_]

Hi there,

I was just wondering if there is a LabVEW API available for the RealSense or any way to get a 3D depth map from scene perception into LabVIEW?

Thanks very much,

Not sure if there's anything ready to use, but you could connect the two using librealsense.

Thank you for your reply. I am completely new to developing with the RealSense. Would you be able to elaborate a bit more on librealsense or perhaps provide some links with a bit more information?

Thanks very much

Sure, librealsense is the official cross platform library from Intel. You can get it from here:

https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense

It does not contain all the functionality from RealSense SDK, but it allows you to obtain raw 3D data from the camera in almost any platform.

You could use that library to connect the camera to Labview, but you will need to make all the conversions, etc.

Yes, we will post something shortly. You can use the RealSense.dll and create a VI wrapper fairly easily.

Thank you for your responses. That certainly gives me a direction to look in.

Anders G, when you say post something shortly, are you referring to some API functionality for the RealSense in LabVIEW? If so, what would be the time frame for this? This would be a fantastic tool.
