In this project, the depth camera was connected to a single-board computer Raspberry Pi 3, and by using the depth image, I have written code to detect the box, get the distance to it and its dimensions for further actions with it. But before that, I worked hard to make the necessary settings to get the depth image. This article will provide a detailed tutorial on how to make these settings.
