Lidar and depth sensing are the same
- chaostheory 3y agoThey are not the same. Apple vision has both LiDAR and a depth camera. https://lidarandradar.com/differences-between-the-lidar-systems-and-depth-camera/ https://lidarandradar.com/differences-between-the-lidar-syst...
- dagmx 3y agoAh yeah you’re right. Apologies for the mixup. However that link isn’t very good at explaining either, since it doesn’t describe Apple’s TrueDepth tech for the “depth sensor” which is a generic term for many technologies, whereas TrueDepth is specific. Here’s a better one https://www.eyerys.com/articles/how-apples-lidar-sensor-differs-one-its-truedepth-face-id https://www.eyerys.com/articles/how-apples-lidar-sensor-diff... Basically Lidar is time of flight and longer range. TrueDepth is a high density grid that’s pattern analyzed.
