3D depth data Onion Tau LiDAR Camera CrowdSupply

What is the difference between Tau and a regular webcam?

The Tau camera includes depth measurements, it means that it can produce 3D depth data instead of color frames. 

What is Onion Tau LiDAR Camera?

  • With the 0.1- 4.5 m range for depth sensing, the Tau Camera can output 160 x 60 pixels of depth data in real-time as well as a greyscale image of the scene;
  • Frames from the Tau camera can be achieved in ways like 2D depth maps, 3D point clouds, regular 2D images, array or matrix objects in programs etc;
  • Through Tau Studio Web App or the Python API, you can interact with the data coming from the Tau camera;
  • Not affected by the light level and the motion state of the object, the Tau LiDAR Camera can show you a real world with accurate distance measurements;
  • It can be paired with other types of hardware to create new projects. And because of its four mounting holes on its own, it can be incorporated into other projects.
