About

This manual describes the Ensenso software API and how to capture 3D data with your Ensenso camera. The Ensenso camera uses the projected texture stereo vision technique and is fitted with two global shutter CMOS sensors and a pattern projector, which projects a random dot pattern onto the object to be captured.

Using the free software interface supplied, you can also integrate the camera easily into your own programs. When working with multiple cameras, the software package also enables you to output a single 3D point cloud containing the data of all the cameras used.

Please read the following chapters first:

  1. Check if your system meets the system requirements

  2. Then install all necessary software components

  3. And finally connect your camera and view the captured depth image using the NxView demo application
