The D435i adds an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to the D435’s stereo depth-sensing capabilities. It provides depth and color images together with acceleration and angular-velocity data, giving developers inputs for applications involving moving cameras or robots. How these data are fused depends on the software and system integration.
Key specifications
- Depth technology: infrared stereo vision with global-shutter depth sensors
- Recommended operating range: 0.3–3 m
- Depth field of view: approximately 86° × 57° (±3° as shown in the image)
- Depth output: up to 1280 × 720 and up to 90 fps; available frame rate depends on resolution and configuration
- Depth accuracy: the supplied image states less than 2% error at 2 m
- RGB output: up to 1920 × 1080 at 30 fps
- Built-in IMU: provides acceleration and angular-velocity data
- Connection: USB-C, USB 3.1 Gen 1
- Dimensions: approximately 90 × 25 × 25 mm
Key benefits
- Integrated IMU: Adds motion data to depth and RGB streams for visual-inertial development.
- Designed for dynamic scenes: Global-shutter depth sensors support capture while the camera or scene is moving.
- Compact form factor: Suitable for integration into robotics and vision systems.
- Flexible development: Supports projects involving ROS, spatial perception, and 3D scanning.
Applications: Mobile robot navigation, robot-arm vision, visual-inertial positioning, 3D scene capture, research, and education. For OpenARM projects, verify compatibility with the specific hardware, software, and mounting setup.
