Harish Venkataraman, Depth Cameras Architecture and Tech Lead at Meta, presents the “Introduction to Depth Sensing” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
We live in a three-dimensional world, and the ability to perceive in three dimensions is essential for many systems. In this talk, Venkataraman introduced the main types of depth cameras, including passive and active stereo; structured light; and direct and indirect time-of-flight cameras. He explains how each of these types of cameras work and highlights their key strengths and weaknesses. He also touches on applications enabled by depth cameras.
