Depth resolution

Depth resolution is the ability of a system, like an imaging device or sonar, to distinguish between objects that are close to each other along the vertical or depth axis. It determines how precisely the system can identify the position of objects at different depths. Higher depth resolution means it can differentiate between objects that are very close together in depth, providing clearer, more detailed 3D information. This is important in applications like medical imaging, underwater navigation, and remote sensing, where accurately detecting and separating objects at varying depths is essential.
