How-to set up Ensenso cameras for colour 3D imaging

How-to | 3D vision and robotics

Learn how to set up an Ensenso camera to capture accurate colour 3D data in just a few steps. This video walks you through the entire process, from configuring network settings and connecting your camera to optimising exposure and stereo parameters for high-quality results.

You’ll discover how to use NxView to adjust presets, apply FlexView for improved data quality, and transform the coordinate system for your application. Whether you’re working on robotics, bin picking, or industrial inspection, this guide provides practical tips for saving parameter files, reducing point cloud size, and working offline with file cameras.
