Python Bindings for Orbbec SDK

the v2-main branch provides Python bindings for the Orbbec SDK v2.x, enabling developers to interface with Orbbec devices using Python. The Orbbec SDK v.2.x is an open-source cross-platform SDK library based on Orbbec RGB-D cameras. The differences between Orbbec SDK v2.x and Orbbec SDK v1.x can be found in the README.

If you are a user in China, it is recommended to use gitee Repo.

Supported Python Versions

python 3.8 to python 3.13

Environment Setup

windows

For windows, you need to register the metadata associated with frames (this includes things like timestamps and other information about the video frame).

• Connect the device and confirm that the device is online;

• Open PowerShell with administrator privileges, then use the cd command to enter the directory where the obsensor_metadata_win10.ps1 script is located;

• Execute the Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser command, and enter Y as prompted to confirm;

  Try to execute the Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser command if the previous command fails in some cases;

• Execute .\obsensor_metadata_win10.ps1 -op install_all to complete the registration.

Notes: If the metadata is not registered, the device timestamp will be abnormal, thereby affecting the SDK's internal frame synchronization functionality.

Linux

For Linux, we have provided a script to help you set up the environment. You can run the script as follows:

  cd pyorbbecsdk/scripts
  sudo chmod +x ./install_udev_rules.sh
  sudo ./install_udev_rules.sh
  sudo udevadm control --reload && sudo udevadm trigger

Notes: If this script is not executed, open the device will fail due to permission issues.

How to Use install package

To make Python more user-friendly, we have created a Python installation package,we provide installation packages for Python versions 3.8 to 3.13.

First, you need to download the corresponding installation package based on your system's Python version. Then refer to this document for installation.

• The file pyorbbecsdk-xxx-xxx-xxx-win_amd64.whl serves as the installation package for python wrapper On Win10.
• The file pyorbbecsdk-xxx-xxx-xxx-linux_x86_64.whl serves as the installation package for python wrapper On Linux x64，likes ubuntu.
• The file pyorbbecsdk-xxx-xxx-xxx-linux_aarch64.whl serves as the installation package for python wrapper on Arm64，likes Nvidia Jetson nano、Orin nano、Orin NX，AGX NX.
