Description
LIPSedge™ AE470 3D Stereo Camera – High‑Precision Vision for Industrial and Embedded Applications
The LIPSedge™ AE470 3D Stereo Camera is a compact, industrial‑grade stereo vision system engineered for accurate depth perception, object recognition, and spatial analysis in demanding environments. The AE470 integrates dual synchronized image sensors, a global shutter RGB sensor, an active 850nm IR VCSEL illumination module, and a built-in 6-axis IMU inside an IP67-rated aluminum housing, making it highly suitable for robotics, factory automation, logistics, and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR/AGV). Its design delivers high Z-accuracy (<= 2% at 4 meters) and dense 3D point clouds over a practical 0.6m to 6m working range, even under challenging lighting or on low-texture objects.
Architected for seamless industrial integration, the LIPSedge AE470 features a Gigabit Ethernet interface supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE IEEE 802.3at/af via M12 X-code connector) alongside an auxiliary M8 power interface. This eliminates the need for extra power cabling and avoids the cable distance limitations of conventional USB 3.0 interfaces. Optimized for consistent stereo baseline calibration and stable passive thermal dissipation, the AE470 provides deterministic 3D streaming performance for real-time applications such as vision-guided robotics (VGR), bin picking, pallet dimensioning, and AMR collision avoidance.
The AE470’s optical system relies on a calibrated 95mm stereo baseline paired with an active IR pattern illuminator to enhance depth calculation on low-texture or dark surfaces. Computing high-density depth maps and 3D point clouds at 1280x720 @ 30 FPS, the AE470 enables downstream automation software to quickly determine object geometry, spatial position, and orientation. Its optical field of view (87° H x 58° V) balances broad spatial coverage with fine resolution, making it ideal for warehouse dimensioning and conveyor inspection.
A key strength of the LIPSedge AE470 is its rich software ecosystem and cross-platform compatibility. Supported by the LIPSedge™ SDK for Windows 10 and Linux Ubuntu (18.04/20.04), the camera streams synchronized depth, color, and IMU data through standard APIs. Developers can leverage official camera configuration utilities (NiViewer), point-cloud visualization tools, and sample applications supporting C/C++, Python, and popular computer vision frameworks to accelerate development and deployment. Engineered for global deployment, the LIPSedge AE470 is certified as a Class 1 Laser Product (EN/IEC 60825-1) and complies with FCC Part 15 (Class B), CE Mark, KCC, and BSMI standards, while passing ASTM B-117 salt spray tests. With industrial mounting options (1/4-20 UNC threads) and superior shock/vibration resistance, the LIPSedge AE470 offers a reliable, long-term 3D depth-sensing foundation for Industry 4.0, smart factory automation, and next-generation mobile robotics.
