The Intel RealSense D456 is a ruggedized stereo depth camera engineered for wide-FOV 3D scanning, precise motion tracking, and high-performance outdoor robotics. Leveraging the industry-proven D455 architecture, the D456 integrates three global-shutter sensors, a built-in IMU, and a robust IP65-rated enclosure that is fully dust-tight and protected against water jets. This makes the D456 the premier choice for industrial automation, autonomous vehicles, and outdoor digital signage where environmental durability and data precision are non-negotiable.
Features
- IP65 Ruggedized Enclosure — Specialized dust-tight and water-resistant housing ensures reliable performance in the harshest outdoor or industrial environments.
- Wide Field of View (87° × 58°) — Maximizes coverage for superior depth resolution, making it an ideal sensor for robotics navigation and obstacle avoidance.
- Global-Shutter Depth Sensors — Enables high-speed depth capture of moving objects without the distortion of motion blur.
- Integrated IMU — Combines 6 degrees of freedom (6DoF) data to significantly enhance environmental awareness and SLAM performance.
- Extended Scanning Range — Optimized for an effective distance of 0.6 m to 6 m, supporting both high-detail scanning and mid-range spatial perception.
- Intel RealSense SDK 2.0 — Seamless cross-platform compatibility with a powerful SDK supporting Python, C++, ROS, Unity, and more.
- Outdoor-Optimized Hardware — Specifically designed for drones, autonomous mobile robots (AMR), and smart digital signage.
