About:
Librealsense is a cross-platform library for Intel RealSense depth cameras (D400 series, SR300, L500). It provides drivers, APIs, and tools to capture depth, color, and motion data, enabling 3D scanning, object recognition, and spatial awareness in applications.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform support (Linux, Windows, macOS)
  • Depth, color, and inertial motion streaming
  • Comprehensive API for C++, C, Python, and .NET
  • Built-in tools for calibration and post-processing
  • Hardware synchronization for multiple cameras
Use Cases:
  • 3D scanning and reconstruction
  • Robotics navigation and obstacle avoidance
  • Augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) applications
  • Computer vision research and prototyping
Alternatives:
  • OpenNI2 – Open-source framework for 3D sensing, but less actively maintained and with narrower hardware support.
  • ROS depthimage_to_laserscan – ROS-specific package for converting depth data, not a full driver/library for RealSense hardware.
