Gemini 2 XL by Orbbec: Redefining 3D Tech at CES

Orbbec, a leader in the field of 3D vision systems, has announced the launch of the Gemini 2 XL at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES). This long-range, 3D camera is designed to be the primary visual system for a wide array of robots, as well as numerous AI-based video analytics and interaction systems. 

“We are excited to demonstrate the superior capabilities of Gemini 2 XL at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show,” said David Chen, Co-Founder and Head of Products at Orbbec. “As Orbbec’s learning library continues to expand, the camera’s capabilities will continue to improve, broadening its applicability in robotics and AI-based vision solutions.” 

The Gemini 2 XL stands out for its ability to deliver accurate and reliable data across a range of lighting conditions, from complete darkness to outdoor settings and features:-

• Long range with high quality depth data output from 0.4m to 20m
• Low environmental influence
• Global shutter for RGB and IR cameras
• Wide Field of View at 91º Horizontal and 66° Vertical
• USB 2.0 Type-C & POE connectivity
• Internal IMU
• Multi-camera synchronization

Affordable and Accessible 3D Vision for Robotics

Orbbec's mission to make 3D vision more accessible is embodied in the Gemini 2 XL. This camera enables robot designers to access high-quality visual information at a much lower cost compared to existing solutions in the market. This cost-effective approach is set to revolutionise the way 3D vision is utilised in robotics and AI-based systems.

Technical Excellence of the Gemini 2 XL

Superior RGB-D Quality

The Gemini 2 XL offers superior RGB-D quality, making it suitable for demanding AI-driven recognition and tracking applications. It excels in environments where small object detection is crucial and performs exceptionally well in high-reflectivity settings. The camera's deep learning algorithms are adept at generating complete phase maps around small objects, overcoming the limitations faced by traditional algorithms in various lighting conditions.

Minimal Impact from Environmental Light

One of the standout features of the Gemini 2 XL is its minimal impact from environmental light. The camera offers exceptional performance in diverse lighting conditions, including direct sunlight and outdoor environments. Traditional algorithms often struggle in these settings, but the Gemini 2 XL's AI algorithms create a solid, complete phase map output, even under challenging conditions.

No Need for Expensive Vision Processors

The Gemini 2 XL distinguishes itself by not requiring costly vision processors. While similar cameras on the market are either expensive or need external computing power, the Gemini 2 XL provides a high-accuracy, cost-efficient alternative for engineers.
