Depth Mapping

Depth mapping is a technique used in photography, computer graphics, and imaging to determine the distance of objects from a camera or sensor. It creates a map where each pixel corresponds to how far away an object is, effectively capturing the 3D shape of a scene. This information helps in applications like 3D modeling, augmented reality, and obstacle avoidance, enabling devices to understand and interact with their environment more intelligently. Depth maps can be created using specialized cameras, stereo vision, or algorithms that analyze visual cues to estimate distances.
