The Intel RealSense Depth Module D420 a high quality imaging sub-system that features wide field of view stereo image sensors. When integrated with a RealSense Vision Processor, the D420 module is able to output depth data over USB.
Stereo Vision Depth Technology
The Intel RealSense D400 series depth camera uses stereo vision to calculate depth. The stereo vision implementation consists of a left imager, right imager, and an optional infrared projector. The infrared projector projects non-visible static IR pattern to improve depth accuracy in scenes with low texture. The left and right imagers capture the scene and sends imager data to the depth imaging (vision) processor, which calculates depth values for each pixel in the image by correlating points on the left image to the right image and via shift between a point on the Left image and the Right image. The depth pixel values are processed to generate a depth frame. Subsequent depth frames create a depth video stream.

FAQs:
Q:What is the Intel RealSense Depth Module D420?
A: The D420 is a stereo depth module that captures depth information by projecting an infrared pattern onto a scene and analyzing the reflections.
Q: What do I need to use the D420 Depth Module?
A: The D420 requires a compatible Intel RealSense Vision Processor for depth data processing and output. It does not work as a standalone device.
Q: What are the applications of the D420 Depth Module?
A: The D420 is suitable for various applications such as robotics, 3D scanning, augmented reality, gesture control, people counting, and object tracking.
Q: What is the field of view of the D420 Depth Module?
A: The D420 has a wide field of view (FOV), making it suitable for capturing depth data in a broader area compared to modules with narrower FOVs.
Q: What is the maximum depth range of the D420 Depth Module?
A: The maximum depth range of the D420 is not specified in the product description. For detailed specifications, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer's documentation or contact Evelta directly.
