First
in the family
RealSense is proud to introduce a revolutionary solid-state LiDAR depth technology designed for indoor applications. The first product in the new LiDAR depth family, the RealSense LiDAR Camera L515 is perfect for applications that require depth data at high resolution and high accuracy.

Redefining computer vision
with RealSense LiDAR
The L515 is a revolutionary solid state LiDAR depth camera which uses a proprietary MEMS mirror scanning technology, enabling better laser power efficiency compared to other time‑of‑flight technologies. With less than 3.5W power consumption for depth streaming, the RealSense LiDAR camera L515 is the world’s most power efficient high‑resolution LiDAR camera.

Use Cases
Logistics and Measurement
The RealSense LiDAR Camera L515 gives precise volumetric measurements of objects. Use the L515 on a handheld device or as part of an inventory management system for quickly counting objects on a shelf, or track every pallet that leaves your warehouse to make sure it’s fully loaded with the right inventory.
Optimized for robotics
While all RealSense Depth cameras are necessary components in an intelligent autonomous robotic solution, the RealSense LiDAR camera L515 brings an additional level of precision and accuracy over its entire operational range. Quickly gauge complex objects, handle occlusion or objects behind others with ease for a new level of performance in bin picking or grasping.
3D Scanning
With 3D scanning, one of the biggest challenges is edge fidelity – making sure that objects don’t bleed into the background or each other. The RealSense LiDAR Camera L515, has edge fidelity in a class of its own, combined with a quality FHD RGB camera and IMU for more robust handheld scanning solutions. Together these features make the L515 the best option for taking your 3D scanning to the next level.
Redefining computer vision with RealSense LiDAR
Our open‑source SDK 2.0 offers a variety of wrappers supporting popular programming languages and platforms. The newest addition to the RealSense Technology family uses the same SDK as all other current generation devices, allowing an easy transition from any of our other depth cameras. Develop once and deploy on any current or future RealSense depth device.
