Intel Announces Low-Cost, High-Resolution RealSense LiDAR Camera L515

Organization: Intel
Country: United States
State: CA
Website: www.intelrealsense.com
Year Founded: 1968
Number of Employees: 110,000

Low-cost, high-resolution combo make the L515 an ideal lidar sensor for indoor robotics applications.

Description:
The Intel RealSense LiDAR Camera L515, which is optimized for indoor applications such as warehouse robotics, features a proprietary micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) for enhanced precision and resistance to shock, temperature fluctuations, and vibration. The L515 captures 9.2 million depth points per second in 640 x 480 resolution, with a 95% reflectivity range of 0.25 to 9 m. It also captures 23.6 million depth points per second in 1024 x 768 resolution, with a 95% reflectivity range of 0.25 to 6.5 m.

An included RGB camera with a rolling shutter and the OV2740 CMOS image sensor provide up to 1920 x 1080 resolution at up to 30 fps. An inertial measurement unit with accelerometer and gyroscope is included, and processing is achieved via an Intel RealSense Vision ASIC.

Analysis:
At just 61 x 26 mm in size and 100 g in weight, the L515 packs a power technological punch into a small form factor. Intel claims this is the world’s smallest, most power-efficient high-resolution lidar. It is also one of the most cost-efficient lidar sensors, starting at $349.

While Intel’s RealSense cameras are popular among robotics developers, the L515 marks its first product that incorporates solid-state lidar technology, which is a sensor without moving parts, into a depth-sensing camera. But the combination of low cost and high resolution make it an ideal lidar option for indoor robotics applications. - Steve Crowe
