[0002] Depth cameras, also known as 3D cameras, are advanced technology devices that provide three-dimensional visual perception capabilities for terminals and robots. The main difference between depth cameras and traditional 2D cameras is that they can not only capture two-dimensional images of the scene, but also obtain the distance information between the object and the camera, that is, depth data. Depth cameras measure the distance between each point in the scene and the camera by using different technologies, such as structured light, light time-of-flight, and binocular stereo vision, to generate a three-dimensional spatial coordinate map. These technologies work by emitting light, such as laser or specifically coded light, to the target and then analyzing the reflected light to calculate the distance;
