3D perception

3D perception is the ability of a system—such as a camera, robot, or vehicle—to interpret and understand the three-dimensional structure of its environment. It involves capturing depth information, allowing the system to recognize the shape, size, and distance of objects around it. Techniques like stereo vision (using two cameras), depth sensors, or lidar help create a detailed 3D map of the surroundings. This enables smarter navigation, object recognition, and interaction, similar to how humans perceive depth through binocular vision, ultimately making automation and machine understanding of space more accurate and reliable.
