Overview

The Intel® RealSense™ Viewer tool supports several predefined depth presets that can be selected according to the user's usage. Some of the presets are predefined in the tool and others can be uploaded via the Load Settings menu. The user can also modify the settings via the Advanced Mode menu and save a customized user preset. All the settings can be saved and loaded via the tool's menu.

• A flat target depth metric test

All pictures were taken with these settings/conditions:

• Resolution: 1280 x 720
• Frame Rate: 30
• Auto Exposure: On
• Ambient fluorescent lighting (~100 - 200 lx)
