Intel\u00ae RealSense\u2122 depth camera D435i combines the robust depth sensing capabilities of the D435 with the addition of an inertial measurement unit (IMU).
\nAdding an IMU allows your application to refine its depth awareness in any situation where the camera moves. This opens the door for rudimentary SLAM and tracking applications allowing better point-cloud alignment. It also allows improved environmental awareness for robotics and drones. The use of an IMU makes registration and calibration easier for handheld scanning system use cases and is also important in fields such as virtual\/augmented reality and drones. When using the D435i, our Intel RealSense SDK 2.0 provides IMU data that is time stamped to\u00a0align with our high quality depth\u00a0data.
\nWhat is an IMU?
\nThe inertial measurement unit (IMU) is used for the detection of movements and rotations in\u00a06\u00a0degrees of\u00a0freedom (6DoF). An\u00a0IMU combines a variety of sensors with gyroscopes to detect both rotation and movement in\u00a03\u00a0axes, as\u00a0well as\u00a0pitch, yaw and roll. It\u00a0is\u00a0used in\u00a0applications such as\u00a0gaming and pointing devices as\u00a0well as\u00a0image stabilization.

Combined Solution for Development &\u00a0Productization<\/p>\n
The Intel\u00ae RealSense\u2122 D435i places an\u00a0IMU into our cutting\u2011edge stereo depth camera. With an Intel module and vision processor in\u00a0a\u00a0small form factor, the D435i is\u00a0a\u00a0powerful\u00a0 complete package which can be paired with customizable software for a\u00a0depth camera that is\u00a0capable of\u00a0understanding it\u2019s own movement.<\/p>\n
Ideal for cameras in motion<\/p>\n
The combination of\u00a0a\u00a0wide field of\u00a0view and global shutter sensor on the D435i make it\u00a0the preferred solution for applications such as\u00a0robotic navigation and object recognition. The wider field of\u00a0view allows a\u00a0single camera to\u00a0cover more area resulting in\u00a0less \u201cblind spots\u201d. The global shutter sensors provide great low\u2011light sensitivity allowing robots to\u00a0navigate spaces with the lights\u00a0off.<\/p>\n
Complete Suite for Simple Integration<\/p>\n
The depth camera D435i is part of the Intel\u00ae RealSense\u2122 D400 series of\u00a0cameras, a\u00a0lineup that takes Intel\u2019s latest depth\u2011sensing hardware and software and packages them into easy\u2011to\u2011integrate\u00a0 products. Perfect for developers, makers, and innovators looking to\u00a0bring depth sensing to devices, Intel\u00ae RealSense\u2122 D400 series cameras offer simple out\u2011of\u2011the\u2011box integration and enable a\u00a0whole new generation of\u00a0intelligent vision\u2011equipped solutions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
