ZED Head

Sexton's ZedHead integrates the StereoLabs Zed 2i camera and Zed Box in a compact anodized aluminum housing. Designed to generate point cloud models and record depth measurements in tight spaces that sonar can't reach. Small enough to be carried on inspection class ROV such as Blue Robotics BlueROV 2 platform and VideoRay Defender.  The ZedHead is a complete edge video processing system, powered by the ORIN NX 8GB and StereoLabs intuitive software.

Routed with a 10-100th ethernet cable to the surface, ROV operators can access a live stream of the Zed camera in combination with the SDK's depth sensing, spatial object detection, or point cloud views. Unleash the full capabilities of StereoLabs' Software Development Kit to create your own autonomous ROV.
