Nerian SceneScan

Stereo vision image processing

SceneScan is a 3D depth perception solution which computes a 3D image of the observed environment in real-time. 

Nerian SceneScan - Stereo Vision Sensor

3D Measurement Performance with 2 Models

Using stereo vision and hardware-based image processing, SceneScan computes a 3D image of the observed environment in real-time. Unlike conventional depth cameras, no light in the visible or invisible spectral range needs to be emitted for this. As a result, SceneScan provides accurate 3D perception even under difficult conditions, such as bright daylight, long range measurements, overlapping ranges, or even underwater measurements.

SceneScan is a cost-optimized version for applications with less demanding requirements.

  • Supported image types: Monochrome
  • Max. greyscale resolution: 0.5 MP
  • Max. disparity: 128 Pixel
  • Max. frame rate: 45 fps

SceneScan Pro has the highest possible processing power and is therefore suitable for extremely demanding applications.

  • Supported image types: Monochrome and color
  • Max. greyscale resolution: 6.2 MP
  • Max. disparity: 256 Pixel
  • Max. frame rate: 135 fps

Benefits at a glance

SceneScan provides accurate 3D perception even under difficult conditions. Benefit from real-time 3D image processing!

  • SceneScan Pro and SceneScan connect either to Nerian stereo vision cameras or to two Alvium USB3-Vision cameras.
  • Depending on the camera setup, very different measuring ranges can be covered, from extremely near to far-range measurements, starting from 11 cm
  • Accurate 3D perception even under difficult conditions, such as bright daylight, long range measurements, overlapping ranges, or even underwater measurements

Depth measurement

The image data is processed in real time by using a powerful FPGA and our advanced stereo algorithm. The processing result is a sub-pixel accurate disparity map (an inverse depth image), which is transmitted via Gigabit Ethernet to a computer or embedded system. Our open source and cross-platform API converts this disparity map into a dense 3D point cloud. Automatic recalibration ensures the functionality of the sensor system even under mechanical stress and a long operating time.

By choosing a suitable camera setup, very different measuring ranges can be covered. Furthermore, it is possible to choose between a high frame rate or a high image or depth resolution. Frame rates of up to 135 Fps and resolutions of up to 6 megapixels are possible.
