Combines high performance and economy, providing all the superpowers offered by RVC2 core and DepthAI API in an affordable package. Won AI and Vision Alliance's Best camera award in 2022.

• 4 TOPS of processing power
• 13 MP central RGB camera available in auto-focus and fixed-focus variants
• BMI270 IMU, 6-axis sensor combining accelerometer and gyroscope
• USB2 / USB3 for power delivery and communication

OAK-D Lite : is the ultimate camera for robotic vision that perceives the world like a human by combining stereo depth camera and high-resolution color camera with an on-device Neural Network inferencing and Computer Vision capabilities. It uses USB-C for both power and USB3 connectivity.   Hardware Specifications This OAK camera uses USB-C cable for communication and power. It supports both USB2 and USB3 (5Gbps / 10Gbps). RVC2 inside This OAK device is built on top of the RVC2. Main features:

• 4 TOPS of processing power (1.4 TOPS for AI - RVC2 NN Performance)
• Run any AI model, even custom- architecture/built ones - models need to be converted.
• Encoding: H.264, H.265, MJPEG - 4K/30FPS, 1080P/60FPS
• Computer vision: warp/dewarp, resize, crop via ImageManip node, edge detection, feature tracking. You can also run custom CV functions
• Stereo depth perception with filtering, post-processing, RGB-depth alignment, and high configurability
• Object tracking: 2D and 3D tracking with ObjectTracker node

OAK-D vs OAK-D-Lite OAK-D-Lite is smaller, lighter and uses less power; compared to OAK-D. The main differences are:

• Mono cameras have lower resolution (640x480 instead of 1280x800)
• Initial versions of OAK-D-Lites (KickStarter batch) had no IMU. Current batches have BMI270.
• There is no power jack, as most users just used the USB-C for power delivery, which provides 900mA at 5V and is enough for most use-cases. However some functions (e.g. inference, video encoding) can lead to large current spikes, so there is a chance hosts like RPi won’t be able to provide enough power. In that case, you should use Y-adapter.

Additionally, the more technical differences are the following:

• Robotics Vision Core 2 chip-down design, instead of connecting the OAK-SoM to the baseboard (like it is done on OAK-D)
• In collaboration with ArduCam, we developed custom camera sensor connectors, which are shorter and take up less space

Fixed-focus vs Auto-focus When ordering the OAK-D-Lite, you can select whether you want Fixed-focus (FF) or Auto-focus (AF) on the color camera. You should select FF if you are mounting OAK camera to something that vibrates. You should select AF when you need things closer than ~50cm to be in focus. More information can be found at Auto-Focus vs Fixed-Focus. Dimensions and Weight

• Width: 91 mm
• Height: 28 mm
• Length: 17.5 mm
• Baseline: 75 mm
• Weight: 61 g

  Stereo depth perception This OAK camera has a baseline of 7.5cm - the distance between the left and the right stereo camera. Minimal and maximal depth perception (MinZ and Max) depends on camera FOV, resolution, and baseline - more information here.

• Ideal range: 40cm - 6m
• MinZ: ~20cm (480P, extended), ~35cm (480P)
• MaxZ: ~10 meters with a variance of 10% (depth accuracy evaluation)

Extended means that Stereo Depth node has Extended disparity mode enabled.
