Depth Sensor

Depth sensors, devices that measure the distance to objects, are crucial for various applications, from robotics and autonomous driving to augmented reality and medical imaging. Current research focuses on improving depth sensor accuracy and robustness, particularly in challenging environments (e.g., low light, transparent objects), often employing techniques like sensor fusion (combining data from multiple sensors), deep learning (neural networks for depth enhancement and completion), and novel algorithms for efficient data processing and noise reduction. These advancements are driving significant improvements in 3D scene understanding and object manipulation, impacting fields ranging from warehouse automation to minimally invasive surgery.
