About
About RealSense D457 GMSL/FAKRA
D457 is a global-shutter stereo camera providing depth at up to 1280-by-720 resolution and 90 frames per second across an 87-by-58-degree field of view. The integrated IMU supplies motion information for mobile perception and sensor fusion.
GMSL and the locking FAKRA connector support cable runs reaching 15 metres with low latency and resistance to electrical interference. The IP65 enclosure protects the camera in mobile and industrial installations. RealSense SDK 2.0 provides calibration, synchronisation and integration tools for vehicles and machine vision.
