Orbbec Astra 2 vs LIPSedge L210u structured-light cameras: depth resolution, frame rate and interface

Asked as: “Compare the Astra 2 and LIPSedge L210u structured-light cameras on depth resolution, depth frame rate and interface.”

Here's how the two structured-light depth cameras compare on the specs you asked about:

AttributeOrbbec Astra 2LIPSedge L210u

Summary of the differences:

  • Depth resolution: The Astra 2 leads with a 1600 × 1200 maximum depth output, versus 1280 × 800 on the LIPSedge L210u. orbbec.com +1orbbec.com ↗“Maximum depth1600x1200@30fps”lips-hci.com ↗“depth1280x800@6fps16-bitraw”
  • Depth frame rate: The Astra 2 reaches 30 fps at its full 1600 × 1200 depth resolution. The L210u runs 6 fps at its full 1280 × 800 depth output (16-bit raw); it can also do 25 fps, but at a reduced 640 × 480 output. orbbec.com +1orbbec.com ↗“Maximum depth1600x1200@30fps”lips-hci.com ↗“Higher25fps is at reduced640x480 output”
  • Interface: The Astra 2 uses a USB 3.0 / USB 2.0 Type-C connection, while the L210u uses USB 2.0 (Micro-B). The L210u's depth and RGB streams both run over USB 2.0 at up to 1280 × 800. Both use the same structured-light depth technology and global-shutter depth sensors with rolling-shutter RGB. One other practical note: the L210u is a bare module weighing 16.4 g, whereas the Astra 2 is an external camera at 241 g — relevant if you're integrating one into a compact design. orbbec.com +3orbbec.com ↗“Structured light”lips-hci.com ↗“rolling shutter”lips-hci.com ↗“module16.4g”orbbec.com ↗“mechanical.weight_g=241 g” orbbec.com +1orbbec.com ↗“USB 3.0 / USB 2.0 Type-C”lips-hci.com ↗“RGB1280x800@6fpsYUV overUSB2.0”
