3D-data

3D data must be recorded to determine the dimensions and characteristics of an object. This is created by extracting depth information from the images of the objects being viewed. This is spatial data that describes the distance of pixels relative to the sensor. Depending on the method, this can be obtained in different ways by measuring the time of flight of light or sound between the sensor and the object, by evaluating corresponding images or by analyzing projected patterns.

3D-sensors

Sensors that capture three-dimensional data from objects.
