Bumblebee 2® STEREO VISION CAMERA SYSTEMS

Bumblebee 2® STEREO VISION CAMERA SYSTEMS

Features:
  • 1/3” Sony CCDs, BW or Color
  • Pre-calibrated against distortion and misalignment
  • GPIO pins for trigger and strobe
  • IEEE-1394 FireWire interface
  • Software for plug and play use 
Triclops   Stereo SDK®
The Triclops Stereo SDK included with the Bumblebee2 and Bumble-bee XB3 supplies an assembly-optimized fast-correlation stereo core that performs Sum of Absolute Differences (SAD) stereo correlation.
This method is known for its speed, simplicity and robustness, and  generates dense disparity images. The  Triclops SDK provides l exible access to all image stages in the stereo processing pipeline, making it  ideal for custom stereo processing approaches. 

FlyCapture  SDK®
The FlyCapture software development kit (SDK) for image acquisition and camera control is included with the Bumblebee2 and BumblebeeXB3. It is compatible with Microsoft   Windows   and includes a camera device driver, full software library with Application Programming   Interface (API), demo programs and C/C++ example source code.The FlyCapture SDK also includes the PGRPRO™ driver, which pro- vides enhanced debuging and diagnostics and allows 1394b devices to run at 800Mb/s.

Development Kit:
  The Development Accessory Kit includes commonly used IEEE 1394 cables, connectors and adaptor cards, to make use of the camera  systems as easy as possible.
