Can RGB-Camera be used for Left and Right Imager

  Hi Rene Fischli  You can map color to depth, yes.  Color can be used to represent distance, or RGB or IR can be mapped onto a 3D depth point-cloud.

   

  

   

  You can obtain a color stream from the left IR imager on the D415 and D455 models, though the image is not quite the same as the RGB imager.  You cannot obtain a color stream from both the left and right imagers.

   

  

   

  Once the RealSense SDK software has been installed then there are pre-made tools and examples that can access the camera simply by plugging the camera into the USB port.  Such programs include the RealSense Viewer show in the images above.

  To create your own RealSense applications, some programming knowledge will be required.  The RealSense SDK supports a range of platforms, including C++, Python, C#, Unity and others.  The RealSense SDK can support a number of different platforms through wrappers that enable the camera to be interfaced with them.

  You can test the SDK with:

  -  A cased 400 Series depth camera (D415, D435 / D435i, D455);

  -  A 400 Series Depth Module Kit circuit board version of cameras;

  - Or without a physical camera by using the software device interface.

  If you require a full RGB imager (not just color from the IR imager) and are interested in a Depth Module Kit circuit board version of the camera then you should use the D415 kit, as it is the only model in the range of caseless camera boards that has an integrated RGB sensor.

  Thanks for the answer. I'll try this out with my D455 and play with the software device interface.

  Is it possible to connect different cameras e.g. RGB global shutter cameras like OG02B10 https://www.ovt.com/download/sensorpdf/564/OmniVision_OG02B10.pdf to the Intel® RealSense™ Vision Processor D4 Board using the Depth Module Connector?

  What has to be done in addition to get it work?

  I could not provide any information about such customization.  I would recommend reading the OV2740 color sensor specification on page 39 of the current edition of the 400 Series data sheet document.

  https://dev.intelrealsense.com/docs/intel-realsense-d400-series-product-family-datasheet 

  The data sheet does not have a specification for the OV9782 color sensor used by the D455 though (stated on page 55 of the data sheet).
