3D pixel formats

These pixels formats are for LUCID’s 3D time-of-flight cameras. There are two types of pixel formats: coordinate data and confidence data. 

  • Confidence: The confidence value represents a measure of how reliable the depth data is. By analyzing the temporal variations of the light pulse signal, a 16-bit integer value per pixel is generated. The higher the confidence value for that pixel, the more reliable the depth measurement.
  • Intensity: The intensity shows the strength of the reflected laser light pulses received from the object.
