The application of depth camera is in the fields of intelligent human-computer interaction, face technology, 3D reconstruction, robotics, AR and other fields. At present, the most mature application of commercial depth camera is a variety of interesting applications based on face technology on mobile terminals.
The depth camera is used for autonomous navigation of the robot. The horizontal field of view of the depth camera can directly detect the distance of obstacles, and the vertical field of view can detect the ground bump or obstacles above, which greatly improves the robot's ability to use visual obstacle avoidance.
The large-scale commercial use of AR is getting closer and closer. Real-time, immersive AR experiences are inseparable from high frame rates and robust depth maps. One of the core technologies of AR interaction is the real-time and accurate SLAM technology. The SLAM solution based on the depth camera is a more reliable solution.
