Gemini 2

Q: What is the Orbbec Gemini 2 and what is it used for?

The Gemini 2 is a compact 3D camera, released in 2023, based on Stereo Structured Light technology. It is equipped with an Orbbec custom ASIC for high-quality depth processing, an IMU, and single-cable USB 3.0 power and connectivity. Its wide field of view and wide depth sensing range make it adaptable for many applications, especially robotics, and it delivers accurate, reliable data in indoor environments.

Q: What is the depth range and accuracy of the Gemini 2?

The Gemini 2 outputs high-quality depth data from 0.15 to 10m, with a precision of 2% or better at 2m. Depth resolution reaches up to 1280x800 at 30fps and RGB up to 1920x1080 at 30fps.

Q: What is the field of view of the Gemini 2?

The Gemini 2 has a wide depth field of view of 91 degrees horizontal by 66 degrees vertical and an RGB field of view of 86 degrees horizontal by 55 degrees vertical. This broad coverage gives robots strong environmental perception.

Q: How does the Gemini 2 connect and how much power does it use?

The Gemini 2 uses a single USB 3.0 Type-C connection for both power and data, which simplifies setup. Average power consumption is under 2.5W. It includes an IMU, supports hardware triggering, and outputs point cloud, depth map, IR, and RGB data. The camera measures 90mm x 25mm x 30mm and weighs 98g, with 1/4-20UNC and 2x M3 mounting options.

Q: Does the Gemini 2 support multi-camera synchronization?

Yes. The Gemini 2 supports multi-camera synchronization along with its built-in IMU, which is useful for applications that need coordinated coverage from several devices. It is easy to set up and operate with the Orbbec SDK.

Q: What are the typical applications for the Gemini 2?

The Gemini 2 is used in warehouse applications, where AMRs rely on real-time 3D mapping, navigation, and object detection and avoidance; in SLAM, to build 3D maps of indoor environments for robotics and augmented reality; and in body scanning, for whole-body scans that support health and body composition analysis.

Q: In what environments can the Gemini 2 operate?

The Gemini 2 is designed for indoor use, with an operating range of 0 to 40 degrees Celsius and 5% to 95% relative humidity. Its Stereo Structured Light technology allows it to deliver reliable depth data across a wide range of indoor lighting, from normal indoor lighting to complete darkness.

The compact Gemini 2 3D camera, released in 2023, is based on Active Stereo IR technology and is equipped with Orbbec’s latest custom ASIC for high quality depth processing, IMU and single cable USB 3.0 power + connectivity. The wide FOV and the wide depth sensing range makes Gemini 2 adaptable for many applications, especially for robotics. It is easy to set up and operate with the Orbbec SDK, and delivers extremely accurate and reliable data in various lighting conditions from pitch black to semi-outdoor.
