D435i

The D435i is a depth-sensing camera developed by Intel, part of the RealSense product line. It utilizes a combination of an infrared emitter, stereo infrared cameras, and a high-resolution RGB camera to capture both depth information and standard color images. The "i" in D435i signifies that it includes an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), which comprises a gyroscope and accelerometer. This integrated IMU allows the camera to track its own motion and orientation, enabling applications like simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and improved sensor fusion without requiring external tracking hardware.

The D435i is designed for a wide range of applications, including robotics, augmented reality, virtual reality, and industrial automation. Its stereo vision technology provides a depth map with a specified range and accuracy, while the RGB camera captures detailed visual data. The camera is powered by the RealSense SDK, which provides tools and libraries for accessing and processing the depth and color streams, as well as the IMU data. This SDK supports multiple programming languages and operating systems, making the D435i accessible to developers across various platforms. The camera's small form factor and USB connectivity facilitate easy integration into different systems.
