Intel Launches L515, a Field Scanning System with MEMS Mirrors
Integrating LiDAR into smart devices to perceive reality in 3D

The world's smallest and most efficient high-resolution lidar camera has been developed, which scans the scene using advanced miniature MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) mirrors to reduce laser pulse power.
Intel announced the Intel RealSense Lidar Camera L515, the world's smallest and most power-efficient high-resolution Lidar capable of capturing millions of depth points per second.

L515 is a new proprietary technology that integrates lidar into smart devices to perceive the real world in 3D, providing high-performance, military-level accuracy to products that require computer vision capabilities.

This product generates 23 million depth points per second while simultaneously improving depth quality and reducing power consumption, making it suitable for a variety of applications. Its applications include 3D scanning, including logistics, healthcare, retail, and robotics.

It is particularly applicable to the logistics industry, which requires high resolution and full field recognition. If you want to automate your inventory management, you can benefit from having accurate volume measurements of your products to keep track of your inventory.

The L515 delivers consistently high accuracy within a supported range of 0.25m to 9m, while achieving a depth resolution of 1024x768 at 30 frames per second. Its integrated vision processor reduces motion blur artifacts and enables depth-to-photon conversion within short latency.

It also consumes less than 3.5W of power, making it easy to mount on portable devices with long battery life, and provides accurate depth throughout its lifespan without calibration.
The camera also features an accelerometer, gyroscope, and FHD RGB video camera, and uses the same open source Intel RealSense SDK 2.0 as the entire portfolio of Intel RealSense devices.
