Overview
Intel RealSense LiDAR Camera L515 is a solid-state LiDAR camera peripheral designed for indoor depth sensing and computer vision. It uses proprietary MEMS mirror scanning technology and is specified for an ideal range of 0.25 m to 9 m (range affected by reflectivity). With less than 3.5 W power consumption for depth streaming, it is suited to compact, power-conscious systems. Note: this product has reached End-of-Life (EOL) status and is no longer actively supported or maintained.
Key Features
- Depth technology: LiDAR (laser scanning with MEMS mirror)
- Depth output up to 1024 × 768 at 30 fps (23 million pixels per second)
- RGB camera: 1920 × 1080 at 30 fps, rolling shutter, 2 MP
- Vision processor board: RealSense Vision ASIC
- USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 connector
- Mounting points: one 1/4-20 UNC thread and two M3 thread mounting points; tripod support
