The ZED SDK allows you to add depth, motion sensing and spatial AI to your application. Available as a standalone installer, it includes applications, tools and sample projects with source code.
Feb 25, 2020
ZED SDK 3.0 is the first release that supports the brand new ZED 2 camera, improved in every way with wider angle optics, more accurate factory calibration, built-in new generation environmental and motion sensors and industrial grade mounting system and enclosure.
The SDK 3.0 also introduces new neural depth sensing, improved positional tracking, new AI-based object detection API that detects and tracks objects in 3D, image quality enhancement, performance improvements and a lot more features.
To update to 3.0 from previous 2.X versions, read the migration guide.

It now benefits from neural depth estimation with improved accuracy, edges and cleaner data.DEPTH_MODE::PERFORMANCE speed with a performance boost of up to 15%.resetTracking function. The yaw angle defined by the Transform parameter was not taken into account.VIEW::DEPTH image when the scene has very low depth content.libturbojpeg-0-dev dependency from Ubuntu 16 installer since the package is only available in Ubuntu 18.enable/disableObjectDetection and retrieveObjects functions.ObjectData class that contains detected object data, such as 2D and 3D bounding box, tracking information, dimensions and 2D mask.ULTRA mode to improve stereo depth accuracy. Other modes will be updated in following SDK updates.textureness_confidence_threshold to remove noisy values in the depth map such as sky or untextured areas.runtime Docker images for deployment of Docker applications using the ZED SDK.sl_zed.Since there are a lot of changes compared to ZED SDK v2, a migration guide is available to help you switch easily from 2.8 to 3.0.

It also includes a state; CAMERA_MOTION_STATE which indicates if the camera is static, moving or falling.Camera::getIMUData() has been replaced by Camera::getSensorsData() to reflect the class update. It provides access to all the sensor values.InitParameters.ULTRA mode with better accuracy and contours.Camera::enableTracking is now Camera::enablePositionalTracking.enable_area_memory, saveAreaMap)StreamingParameters::chunk_size to select the maximum size of each transmitted packet and improve packet transmission.SpatialMap functions that include support for both Mesh and FusedPointCloud should now be used.extractWholeSpatialMap is now smarter if a previously retrieved map is passed as an argument. It will retrieve only the difference between the initial and updated mesh.For older releases and changelog, see the ZED SDK release archive.
