Basler Stereo Camera

Easy-to-use, industrial-grade stereo cameras for vision-guided robotics

The Basler Stereo Camera series enables robots to perceive their environment in real time. All cameras come with a comprehensive pre-installed onboard software package suitable for typical robotics applications.

Basler stereo cameras offer low total system cost and industrial-grade quality for your vision-guided robotics application in areas such as factory automation and logistics. This makes 3D vision technology a breeze for robotic applications ranging from bin picking to navigation.

The idea behind the Basler stereo camera family is based on a plug-and-play computer vision solution that requires neither experience nor expertise in machine vision. Thanks to onboard processing, the cameras can be integrated directly, without any external computers.

Features of the Basler Stereo Camera at a glance

Stereo data processing

Camera image

The left camera delivers the reference image for the image data set.

Depth image

The distance between the camera and the environment is computed through triangulation of the stereo image using the SGM methodology. It serves as input for point cloud generation and 3D reconstruction.

Confidence image

The confidence image shows the confidence in each measured value for further processing steps.

3D reconstruction

Calculated from the depth image without texture.

Performance characteristics

Plug and play

No previous machine vision experience or expertise needed.

The user-friendly web interface of the Basler Stereo Camera allows for effortless installation and intuitive use. The Stereo Camera can also be connected and configured by Rest-API, ROS, and GenICam.

Onboard processing

Thanks to an integrated graphics card, depth images are generated directly on the camera and do not require external computing power. This is an ideal requirement for mobile systems. Point clouds can be easily generated from the depth image.

Visual odometry

Using the most advanced visual inertial odometry algorithms, the Basler Stereo Camera records its current position and alignment with highest precision. The low latency allows for direct integration into the control loop when the camera is mounted on a robot.

Our stereo camera models

The versions of the Stereo Camera feature two different baselines (65 mm, 160 mm) and color or monochrome models.

Stereo Camera 65 color

Its compact size makes it particularly suitable for robot/arm-mounting, e.g. for pick-and-place applications that require color differentiation.

Stereo Camera 65 mono

Its compact size makes it particularly suitable for robot/arm-mounting, e.g. for pick-and-place applications in challenging lighting conditions.

Stereo Camera 160 color

Designed for viewing distances of more than 50 cm. Particularly suitable for static mounting, e.g. in a robot cell, or mobile applications that require color differentiation.

Stereo Camera 160 mono

Designed for viewing distances of more than 50 cm. Particularly suitable for static mounting, e.g. in a work cell, in challenging lighting conditions. Also available in a 6 mm lens variant.
