Nerian Manuals & User Guides

Nerian Vision Technologies is a developer of advanced machine vision systems, specifically focusing on real-time stereo vision and 3D depth sensing. Based in Stuttgart, Germany, the company produces embedded systems like the SceneScan and Ruby depth cameras, which process stereo image data into high-quality depth maps for industrial use.

Nerian's technology is designed for robotics, automated quality control, and autonomous navigation, offering compatibility with various industrial cameras. Their products differ from conventional 3D sensors by utilizing passive stereo vision techniques, allowing for flexible measurement ranges and robust performance in diverse lighting conditions. Nerian has been integrated into larger vision technology groups offering comprehensive support for legacy and current products.

• What is the difference between SceneScan and SceneScan Pro?

  SceneScan Pro offers significantly more computational power, enabling higher frame rates, higher resolutions (up to 6.2 MP), and color image processing compared to the standard SceneScan model.

• How do I connect the Nerian device to a computer?

  Nerian devices use a Gigabit Ethernet interface for data transmission. Ensure your network settings (IP configuration and Jumbo Frames) are correctly configured as described in the user manual.

• What software is included with Nerian products?

  Nerian provides the NVCom software for configuration and visualization, as well as a GenICam GenTL producer for third-party software integration and a ROS node.

• Does Nerian SceneScan require a laser projector?

  SceneScan is a passive system that relies on ambient light and surface texture. However, a texture projector can be used for textureless surfaces to improve measurement density.

• Where is the reset button located on Nerian devices?

  The configuration reset button is typically located on the back or side of the device near the interface ports. Pressing it restores the device firmware to factory settings.
