PoE cameras

Depth perception is a key feature of the DepthAl platform, which supports diferent methods of perceivingdepth:

1.Passive Stereo Depth-Used by non-Pro version of OAK-D cameras.

2.Active Stereo Depth-Used by Pro version of OAK-D cameras.

3.Time-of-Flight Depth- Used by OAK-ToF.


								<p id="a3">Passive stereo works similarly to human vision, Our brains estimate the depth of objects based on thedifference in perception between our left and right eyes. in OAK-D cameras, a stereo camera pair (left andright monocular cameras) performs a similar function. The VPU (Visual Processing Unit of the OAK camerasdoes disparity matching to estimate the depth.<br/> Disparity is the pixel distance between the same point in the left and right images of the stereo pair camera.The OAK-D camera calculates disparity for every pixel in the mono frame, assigning a disparity value withsome confidence level. This process occurs inside the <span>StereoDepth node</span>. The depth map is calculated fromthe disparity map using <span>this formula.</span></p>
