About ZED SDK
ZED SDK is Stereolabs’ software-development platform for processing data from ZED stereo cameras. It provides depth estimation, positional tracking, spatial mapping, object and body tracking, camera calibration and sensor fusion. The software runs on NVIDIA GPUs and Jetson modules and exposes interfaces for C++, Python, C#, Unity, Unreal Engine and other development environments.
Robot developers use the SDK to connect camera streams with navigation, manipulation and spatial-perception applications. ROS and ROS 2 integrations provide standard topics and coordinate frames, while cloud and multi-camera tools support larger deployments. Stereolabs distributes the SDK for development and production use with supported ZED hardware.
