6.4. Depth data characteristics Depth data is managed using 8 bit gray scale data, whereby the data values (brightness) indicate the distance. This is done by calculating the parallax (the offset between the two cameras) for the compound camera in the hardware, and aggregating the VGA size in pixels. Note that depth data is reduced to VGA size even if the mode setting is set to 5MP in size. Also, if the resolution is not high enough in VGA for the depth data, then you can acquire side by side images and increase the resolution using range measurement software. The higher the the depth value brings the depth data distance closer, and reducing the value makes it further away. When converting the brightness as gray scale data, the highest value of 255 brings the distance closer, and the lowest value of 0 makes it further away.

Depth data characteristics
Depth data is managed using 8 bit gray scale data, whereby the data values (brightness)
indicate the distance. This is done by calculating the parallax (the offset between the two
cameras) for the compound camera in the hardware, and aggregating the VGA size in pixels.
Note that depth data is reduced to VGA size even if the mode setting is set to 5MP in size. Also,
if the resolution is not high enough in VGA for the depth data, then you can acquire side by side
images and increase the resolution using range measurement software.
The higher the the depth value brings the depth data distance closer, and reducing the value
makes it further away. When converting the brightness as gray scale data, the highest value of
255 brings the distance closer, and the lowest value of 0 makes it further away.
