Seeking Advice: Using ZED X Stereo Camera for 3D Object Tracking + MATLAB Integration

Software
1

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a research project that involves using stereo vision systems for object tracking and automated calibration. We’re particularly considering the ZED X Stereo Camera because of its strong depth sensing and positional data capabilities.

Our main goal is to determine the precise 3D position (X, Y, Z coordinates) of objects to support calibration of dynamic systems like the INTECO Magnetic Levitation System.

A key part of our workflow involves streaming the positional data directly into MATLAB for real-time or automated calibration processes.

I’m reaching out to ask:

  • Has anyone here worked with the ZED X for similar purposes?
  • Is there MATLAB support for data streaming or integration via the ZED SDK or through other tools/interfaces?
  • Are there any official or community-created guides, SDKs, or documentation you’d recommend for setting this up?

Any suggestions, references, or shared experiences would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help :pray:

Hi @dariusnegirla
Welcome to the StereoLabs community.

We have a MATLAB wrapper around the ZED SDK.
You can find it on GitHub:

Thank you so much, do you have a recomandation for what camera should I choose for best use? I was thinking about ZED X Stereo Camera. Do you belive I need anything else for my application? Thank you

Also how do I connect the camera to pc to get the data?

Please read the ZED X documentation for details on using it with a PC for development.

Thank you, I saw that ZED 2i is better suited for Pc use

Yes, USB3 cameras are natively compatible with x86 PCs
