When a robot, drone, or other autonomous system needs a clear understanding of its surroundings, developers often choose to equip it with a depth camera. These sensors make it possible to measure the distance to nearby objects and build a three-dimensional map of the environment, helping machines navigate, avoid obstacles, and interact with the world around them. The downside is that adding a depth camera is only the beginning — engineers will still need to develop the algorithms and control systems that are powered by the data these cameras produce.

The latest release from RealSense — the D585 — was built to simplify computer vision applications. Not only does it provide better image quality than past models, but it also does a lot of image processing on-device. That frees developers up to create without worrying about every single little detail.
