Depth sensors for three-dimensional object acquisition are widely used and available in many different sizes and weight classes. The measuring method used and the measuring accuracy depend on the task to be performed. The integration of depth sensors in mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones is largely new. The TrueDepth system of the iPhone X shows which measurement accuracies can be achieved with these systems and which areas of application can be achieved in addition to consumer fun. The investigations show that the TrueDepth system of the iPhone X can be used for measuring tasks with accuracies in the millimeter range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
