Point Grey Research's IEEE-1394 (FireWire) Stereo Vision camera systems are provided as complete hardware and software packages. Every Point Grey Stereo Vision camera system includes a free copy of the FlyCapture SDK, which is used for image acquisition and camera control, and the Triclops SDK, which performs image rectification and stereo processing. Additional stereo vision software components are available at no extra cost: the Censys3D SDK, which is ideal for people tracking; and the Multiclops software, which allows integration of multiple cameras into a single coordinate system.

Bumblebee^®2

The Bumblebee^®2 is the next generation Bumblebee^® stereo vision camera. It provides a balance between 3D data quality, processing speed, size and price. Developed as a drop-in replacement for the original Bumblebee camera, the Bumblebee2 also features double the frame rate and a GPIO connector for external trigger and strobe functionality.

Bumblebee^® XB3

The Bumblebee^® XB3 is a 3-sensor multi-baseline IEEE-1394b (800Mb/s) stereo camera designed for improved flexibility and accuracy. It features 1.3 mega-pixel sensors and has two baselines available for stereo processing. The extended baseline and high resolution provide more precision at longer ranges, while the narrow baseline improves close range matching and minimum-range limitations.

Camera Driver: Microsoft Windows XP digitally signed driver

API Library: Complete software library for full camera control

Programming: Standard C/C++ interface for easy integration

Examples: Extensive example programs and source code

Technical Datasheet

Triclops™ SDK
The Triclops™ Software Development Kit (SDK) is included with all PGR IEEE-1394 Stereo Vision products and is used to provides real-time depth range images using stereo vision technology. It allows users to accurately measure the distance to every valid pixel in an image.

Censys3D^® SDK
The Censys3D® Software Development Kit (SDK) is designed to provide users with accurate, online, people tracking information in challenging environments. The SDK requires a PGR Stereo Vision camera and allows users to easily integrate robust tracking functionality into their own custom applications. PGR Stereo Vision camera owners can download this SDK for free from our downloads page.

Multiclops™
The Multiclops software allows users to easily overcome the field-of-view and line-of-sight restrictions that often result from using a single Stereo Vision camera system by integrating data from multiple Stereo Vision cameras systems into a single coordinate system. Point Grey Stereo Vision camera owners can download this for free from our downloads page.
