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.
Blackwell GPUs must use TensorRT 10 and CUDA 12
Pascal GPUs must use TensorRT 8
ZED SDK 5.0 delivers 5× faster depth sensing, 300% lower compute load on Jetson, and improved depth accuracy in challenging environments. It introduces new depth modes powered by TERRA AI, offering options for higher accuracy and faster depth processing to suit different applications. The update also debuts Magellan™, a vision-based localization system providing centimeter-level positioning indoors and outdoors. Additionally, the capture pipeline architecture has been optimized to improve stability, reduce dropped frames, and lower video latency to under 60ms, delivering one of the lowest latencies in the industry.

NEURAL_LIGHT mode, and updated NEURAL and NEURAL_PLUS. They're faster, more precise, and more robust. The older computer vision modes are now deprecated, the previous NEURAL models can still be accessed for retro compatibility.sl::Camera::read() function that optionally separates the grab() function into two distinct operations: acquiring new images and processing data. This function does not affect existing applications using grab(), it will detect if the read() function was called or not. It enables parallel computing tasks, such as object detection.sl::Resolution(-1,-1) selecting the internal best compromise for both quality and speed.VIDEO_SETTINGS::SCENE_ILLUMINANCE to get the Luminance (LUX) of the scene when using ZED X camerasGEN_2Camera::retrieveImage and Camera::retrieveMeasure for improved performance in GPU asynchronous workflows.blobFromImage, and blobFromImages, for converting images to Deep Learning model tensor inputs.Mat::convertColor, for common color conversions, such as swapping red and blue channels and removing the alpha channel.sl::CameraOneInitParameters::depth_stabilization value set to 30, it provides a more stable depth with minimal motion artifactsCamera::retrieveObjects to Camera::retrieveCustomObjects for custom object detection.
