Orbbec - Camera Intrinsics

Has anyone had any luck getting the camera intrinsics of a connected Orbbec camera? When using the Kinect Azure TOP, I’m able to get the intrinsics using python by calling colorCameraIntrinsics, however this functionality does not seem to have been implemented in the Orbbec TOP. While it should be possible to get the Orbbec intrinsics by using the Kinect Azure TOP, the Kinect Azure TOP does not work with the Orbbec Femto Bolt at max rgb resolution so I am only able to use the Orbbec TOP for my use case. Hoping someone has a solution here before I dive into the Orbecc SDK.

Hi @furtherinterfaces

Currently, we are not exposing camera intrinsics for the Orbbec TOP as we do for the Kinect Azure TOP. It seems like this would be nice to have though, so we’ll create an RFE for further consideration.

@furtherinterfaces Do you mind sharing the use cases you have for the Intrinsics? I haven’t yet tapped into them on my Femto Mega. Thanks!

@Brad_Emery I’m working on a structured-light scanning tool in TD, and I’d like to use the built-in camera TOPs as inputs. To do this accurately, I need access to each camera’s intrinsics so I can correctly reconstruct geometry from the decoded patterns.

Hey @furtherinterfaces

Orbbec camera intrinsic parameters will be exposed as Python members like Kinect Azure TOP after builds 2025.32329+. Thanks for the suggestion.

amazing, thanks!
