The CEO of OpenCV.org, Dr. Satya Mallick, said, "Smart machines of the future will require a combination of visual intelligence and depth perception to interact with the 3D world just like humans do.

Using vision technology to identify weeds in agriculture is an area of active development, and a team of researchers recently shared their method of using a combination of machine vision plus depth… ...

The depth maps are then used to match the incoming object’s size and alignment to that of the area of the target image it is placed in.

Etron’s EE 3D Depth-Map Sensing Platform has a built in eSP870 controller and comes equipped with two HD 720P (1280x720) CMOS image sensors.
