Help with choosing a depth camera for detecting objects in grass
I need help choosing or spec'ing out a depth camera that can detect objects in grass

Hi Brianj2758 Do you need the camera to be able to identify the objects in the grass from the image and name them, or is it sufficient for the objects simply to appear on the depth image?

MartyG yes, I need it to be able to identify the objects

If you need to be able to identify objects in grass outdoors then the most important criteria for camera selection may be operating at close range to the object and dealing with sunlight. The D435F model, which has a small minimum depth sensing distance and light blocking filters on the lenses, may therefore be a suitable choice for this application.
In regard to object identification, a Deep Neural Network (DNN) software tool can be used to compare an RGB color image to a database that is trained to recognize certain types of objects. Intel have a C++ / OpenCV example DNN program at the link below.
