The Intel RealSense D405 is a next-generation close-range stereo depth camera engineered for applications requiring sub-millimeter accuracy at distances as short as 7 cm. With its global-shutter depth sensors, 87° × 58° field of view, and advanced onboard image processing, the D405 delivers exceptionally precise 3D depth data for robotics, inspection, agriculture, and medical applications. Its compact 42 × 42 × 23 mm form factor and lightweight 60 g design make it ideal for embedded systems and space-constrained environments.
Features
- Sub-Millimeter Depth Accuracy — Achieves <1 mm precision at 7 cm, enabling highly detailed close-range 3D scanning and measurement.
- Close-Range Optimized — Ideal working distance from 7 cm to 50 cm, designed specifically for near-field perception tasks.
- Global Shutter Depth Sensors — Ensures accurate capture of fast-moving objects without motion artifacts or distortion.
- Enhanced RGB Alignment — Built-in ISP improves RGB-to-depth alignment for high-quality textured 3D models.
- Ultra-Compact Design — Only 42 × 42 × 23 mm and 60 g, smaller than a golf ball, ideal for embedded robotics and handheld devices.
- Indoor & Outdoor Use — Robust stereo depth technology works reliably in diverse lighting conditions and environments.
- SDK-Ready — Fully supported by the cross-platform RealSense SDK 2.0 with wrappers for Python, C/C++, C#, ROS, Unity, and Unreal.
