[Product Introduction] Orbbec Astra 2 | Structured Light 3D camera with multi-camera synchronization

Orbbec, a company in Shenzhen, China, is a manufacturer that manufactures and sells various 3D cameras such as Structured Light method, stereo vision method, and ToF method. Founded in 2013 under the philosophy of "Intelligence Computing for Everyone, Everywhere", it is Asia's largest 3D camera manufacturer with three strengths: 3D sensors, unique core technology development, and solution proposal capabilities.

Orbbec's latest model of Structured Light 3D camera "astra 2” has been released, so I will introduce it.

astra 2 is Orbbec's first standard model for many years, the 3D camera Astra seriesis the successor ofEquipped with the latest Orbbec proprietary ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) customized for high quality depth processing, IMU and multi-camera synchronization.

Astra 2 main uses

body scan

Accurately assess your fitness level based on whole-body scan data acquired with a 3D camera.Enables continuous monitoring and progress tracking over time.

quality management

Non-contact, rapid, and highly accurate 3D measurement of product dimensions and surface conditions during the manufacturing process.Multi-camera and multi-sensor networks cover the entire process flow.

health tech

Accurate body movement tracking in combination with skeletal tracking software.It is also possible to acquire detailed data on joint angles and movements during training and exercise.

Astra 2 Main Features

  • High quality depth data output from 0.6m to 8m
  • Depth resolution 1600×1200 (up to 30fps)
  • RGB resolution 1920×1080 (up to 30fps)
  • Supports multi-camera synchronization

 

Below is a comparison table of the main specifications with Astra and Astra Pro Plus, Structured Light 2D cameras with the same measurement range (0.6m -8m) as Astra 3.In particular, we can see that the resolution of the depth image has improved significantly.
