GMSL2 stereo depth cameras with the widest operating temperature range

Asked as: “Outdoor AMR with GMSL2 cabling. Which GMSL2 stereo depth camera has the widest operating temperature range?”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent

The Stereolabs ZED X and ZED X Mini are tied for the widest operating temperature range among our GMSL2 stereo depth cameras. Both are rated -20 °C to 60 °C, which is both the lowest minimum and the highest maximum of any GMSL2 stereo camera with a listed range. Both are also rated IP67, which may be useful on an outdoor AMR. stereolabs... +1stereolabs.com ↗“thermal.max_operating_temp_c=60 °C, thermal.min_operating_temp_c=-20 °C”stereolabs.com ↗“thermal.max_operating_temp_c=60 °C, thermal.min_operating_temp_c=-20 °C”

Notes:

  • The two Orbbec ranges have conditions. The Gemini 335Lg reaches 50 °C only at 15 fps and tops out at 45 °C at 30 or 60 fps. The Gemini 305g reaches 45 °C with a 128 disparity setting and 40 °C with 256. - RealSense D457: its operating temperature isn't listed in the catalog, so I can't rank it. To use its GMSL2/FAKRA connection, the host needs a deserializer and supporting drivers. store.real...store.realsenseai.com ↗“GMSL2/FAKRA data connection requires a host-side deserializer and supporting drivers” orbbec.com +1orbbec.com ↗“-10..50C at15fps; maximum45C at30/60fps”doc.orbbec.com ↗“-10..45ambient at128 disparity, -10..40 at256 disparity”
  • ZED X vs. ZED X Mini: both output 1920 x 1200 per eye at 60 fps and use a global shutter. The Mini is lighter: 151 g vs. 239 g. stereolabs... +2stereolabs.com ↗“1920 x 1200 pixels per eye at 60 fps via GMSL2 / FAKRA Z”stereolabs.com ↗“mechanical.weight_g=239 g”stereolabs.com ↗“mechanical.weight_g=151 g”
