Depth map

In 3D computer graphics and computer vision, a depth map is an image or image channel that contains information relating to the distance of the surfaces of scene objects from a viewpoint. The term is related (and may be analogous) to depth buffer, Z-buffer, Z-buffering, and Z-depth. The "Z" in these latter terms relates to a convention that the central…

Applications, Uses & Examples

Use the mouse wheel or two fingers (on touchscreens) to zoom in and out of the map.
