Stereo Vision Depth Technology Overview
The FRAMOS Industrial Depth Camera D435e uses stereo vision to calculate depth. The
stereo vision implementation consists of a left imager, right imager, and an optional infrared
projector. The infrared projector projects non-visible static IR pattern to improve depth
accuracy in scenes with low texture. The left and right imagers capture the scene and send
image data to the vision processor. The vision processor calculates depth values for each pixel
in the image by correlating points on the left image to the right image. The depth pixel values
are processed to generate a depth frame. Subsequent depth frames create a depth video
stream.
