Orbbec SDK

stability version

The Orbbec 3D camera product software development kit fully supports UVC, enabling driver-free plug-and-play. It provides both low-level and high-level APIs that are simple and easy to use, allowing developers to use it flexibly in different scenarios.

Additionally, this SDK is compatible with Orbbec's original OpenNI protocol devices through built-in code, enabling developers to migrate to Orbbec SDK to support both new and old products with one set of code.

If you are a user in China, it is recommended to use Gitee(gitee Repo).

What is included in the repository

  • library : Orbbec SDK core library files and C/C++ header files.
  • examples : C/C++ samples project source code.
  • doc : API reference documentation and sample documentation.
  • driver : Windows device driver for OpenNI protocol devices (Dabai, Dabai DCW, Dabai DW, Astra mini Pro, Astra Pro Plus, A1 Pro, Gemini E, Gemini E Lite, Gemini). While modules that use the standard UVC protocol do not need to install drivers.
  • scripts : Linux udev rules for resolving permission issues and Windows timestamp registration scripts for resolving timestamp and metadata issues.

Getting started

Get source code

git clone https://github.com/orbbec/OrbbecSDK.git

Environment setup

  • Linux:

    Install udev rules file

    cd OrbbecSDK/misc/scripts
    sudo chmod +x ./install_udev_rules.sh
    sudo ./install_udev_rules.sh
    sudo udevadm control --reload && sudo udevadm trigger
  • Windows:

    Timestamp registration: follow this: obsensor_metadata_win10

  • For more information, please refer to:Environment Configuration

Examples

The sample code is located in the ./examples directory and can be built using CMake.

Build

cd OrbbecSDK && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && cmake --build . --config Release

Run example

To connect your Orbbec camera to your PC, run the following steps:

cd OrbbecSDK/build/bin # build output dir
./OBMultiStream  # OBMultiStream.exe on Windows

Notes: On MacOS, sudo privileges are required.

# MacOS
cd OrbbecSDK/build/bin # build output dir
sudo ./OBMultiStream

The following image is the result of running MultiStream on the Gemini2 device. Other Devices run result maybe different.

Multistream

Notes: On the Linux/Arm platform ,this sample requires users to compile with Opencv4.2 or above,otherwise, it cannot be rendered.

Use Orbbec SDK in your CMake project

Find and link Orbbec SDK in your CMakeLists.txt file like this:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1.15)
project(OrbbecSDKTest)

add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} main.cpp)

# find Orbbec SDK
set(OrbbecSDK_DIR "/your/path/to/OrbbecSDK")
find_package(OrbbecSDK REQUIRED)

# link Orbbec SDK
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} OrbbecSDK::OrbbecSDK)
