ARCore

Depth image. Confidence image. Raw Depth API. A raw depth image that contains a very accurate depth estimate for some, but not all, pixels in the camera image .

The Depth API helps a device’s camera to understand the size and shape of the real objects in a scene . It uses the camera to create depth images, or depth maps, thereby adding a layer of AR realism into your apps.

What are Depth Sensors? Depth sensors are a form of three-dimensional (3D) range finder , which means they acquire multi-point distance information across a wide Field-of-View (FoV). Standard distance sensing technologies typically measure distance using one or more sensors with comparatively narrow Fields-of-View.
