Products and Services: Stereo Vision Products: Censys3D® SDK

Point Grey Research's IEEE-1394 (FireWire) Stereo Vision camera systems are provided as complete hardware and software packages. Every Point Grey Stereo Vision camera system includes a free copy of the FlyCapture SDK, which is used for image acquisition and camera control, and the Triclops SDK, which performs image rectification and stereo processing. Additional stereo vision software components are available at no extra cost: the Censys3D SDK, which is ideal for people tracking; and the Multiclops software, which allows integration of multiple cameras into a single coordinate system.

 


Censys3D® SDK
Request Pricing
The Censys3D® Software Development Kit (SDK) is designed to provide users with accurate, online, people tracking information in challenging environments. The SDK requires a PGR Stereo Vision camera and allows users to easily integrate robust tracking functionality into their own custom applications. PGR Stereo Vision camera owners can download this SDK for free from our downloads page.

People Tracking: Capable of displaying continuous online 3D trajectory data (both position and height of each individual).
Examples: Extensive example programs and source code
Upgrades: Free unlimited upgrades to the latest versions

Sample Tracking Applications

Retail
Using Censys3D® to track shopper movement in the retail environment can help improve both labor management and location layout. The data provides information that will allow users to:

  • Continuously optimize shopper-to-cashier ratios by monitoring the number of shoppers in line.
  • Optimize labor scheduling based on accurate minute-by-minute traffic counts rather than standard transaction counts.
  • Determine display effectiveness through analysis of shopper viewing duration.
  • Optimize product placement in high traffic areas.

Security
Security system developers can benefit from Censys3D®'s capability to:

  • Ensure the security of a restricted area by monitoring its traffic.
  • Ensure foot traffic is moving in the right direction.
  • Identify and eliminate problems with tailgating, loitering and other suspicious behavior

Safety
Censys3D® provides the accuracy necessary to:

  • Guard against personnel entering hazardous areas.
  • Ensure that operators are at the minimum safe distance before allowing machines to operate.

Interactive exhibits and displays
Censys3D®'s capability to provide online position information provides developers of interactive exhibits to the capability to ensure optimal dynamic interaction.
