3D depth camera refers to a camera that can measure the distance (depth) from an object to the camera. This type of camera can not only capture a two-dimensional image of the scene, but also obtain the positional relationship between objects, and then further deepen the processing. 3D depth cameras can be divided into monocular structured light, binocular vision, and ToF cameras according to technical classification. The product design principles and technical parameters vary widely, and the size and price gap is large. With the continuous maturity of 3D depth camera technology and the continuous enrichment of application scenarios, the market demand for mobile phone cameras, VR/AR gesture interaction, automotive electronic ADAS, security monitoring and new retail continues to grow.
In recent years, under the high-end demand of technology and consumption upgrades, 3D depth vision has gradually been applied, such as smart computers, smart TVs, etc. 3D depth cameras have become one of the key directions of camera innovation in the next stage. Major mobile phone manufacturers continue to try the application of rear 3D cameras, and Apple’s new iPad Pro is accelerating the advancement of rear 3D cameras.
In terms of industrial production, due to the relatively convenient application of 3D depth camera technology and a relatively high market concentration, 3D depth cameras have also been widely used, and the 3D depth camera industry has great potential for future development.
With the high-end and commercial development of electronic products, automobiles, robots, intelligent security, AR/VR and other fields, the demand for 3D technology is high, and the future development potential of 3D depth cameras is huge. Believed that with the development of technology in the future, the application of 3D depth cameras will become more extensive.
