Zed Sdk

The ZED SDK is Stereolabs software for building vision based applications on its ZED cameras. It provides spatial perception algorithms designed to run in real time, from desktop machines to embedded computers such as Jetson devices. Capabilities listed on the SDK page include 3D perception that captures texture and color, visual inertial odometry for localization indoors or where GNSS is unavailable, and real time occupancy maps for navigation indoors and outdoors. It also covers body tracking, which analyzes how people move through a space, and object detection for moving obstacles such as people and objects. Global localization fuses ZED X camera data with GNSS for high precision positioning. It is aimed at robotics and machine vision developers working on areas such as autonomous mobile robots, robotic arms, forklifts and logistics automation. Downloads are offered for Windows, Linux and Jetson, with the latest release shown as version 5.5. The SDK page links to documentation, an API reference, code samples, tutorials, integrations on GitHub, a community forum and a help center, and a separate download page covers ZED X drivers. The SDK page does not state a price or license terms and links to a software and services license agreement. The cameras and ZED Box embedded computers it runs with are sold separately through the vendor store.
