# realsenseai/librealsense > Cross-platform SDK for RealSense depth cameras: depth and color streaming, calibration intrinsics/extrinsics, with wrappers for C++, Python, C#, ROS 2 and REST. Used in robotics, 3D scanning and computer vision. - Magnitude: 0.6 out of 10 — Quiet - Stars: 9,043 total · +1 star on 2026-09-29 (UTC), ≈ 2 by evening - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: Hardware, IoT & robotics · Language: C++ · License: Apache-2.0 · Created: 2015-11-17 · Last push: 2026-09-29 - GitHub: https://github.com/realsenseai/librealsense · Homepage: https://realsenseai.com/ · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/realsenseai/librealsense ## Useful for - Run RealSense Viewer to tune streams and record camera data - Read pixel distance via pyrealsense2 in a Python script - Build the SDK from source on Linux for a ROS 2 project ## Why it’s here - 1 star so far today, about 2 expected by the end of the day. ## Star trust Star growth looks organic. Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer. ## Numbers - Forks: 5,042 - Issues and pull requests: 15,552 - Watchers: 280 - Average over the last week: 1 per day - Usual pace: 3 per day - Latest release: v2.58.4 (2026-08-30) ## Stars per day, last 30 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-04 … 2026-11-02: None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None ## Magnitude by day, last 14 days 09-16 0.9, 09-17 1.1, 09-18 0.8, 09-19 1.1, 09-20 0.4, 09-21 0.6, 09-22 0.7, 09-23 0.9, 09-24 0.8, 09-25 0.6, 09-26 0.8, 09-27 0.4, 09-28 0.4, 09-29 0.6 --- Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score. Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast. Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
