Abstract

Depth resolution of a 3D imaging system or 3D sensor is defined as the smallest change in physical depth that causes a detectable change in the corresponding measured or derived depth. The ability of a sensor to resolve depth on a particular target is correlated with the sensor noise on that target. This work presents a novel metric for calculating the depth resolution of a 3D sensor.
