Depth data distribution


One of the best ways to graphically represent distribution of data is the histogram. Histograms visually tell how the current data values are distributed for a given data set. From a histogram, we can identify how frequently and how well data is distributed.

Depth values contain distances for the different possible ranges, shadows, or even unknown depth information. With histogram representation, the following is made possible:

  • Identifying the depth data range for filtering data

  • Occurrence of a certain range of values

  • Probability distribution for a specific range of data

  • Defining the range for capturing data

Generating a histogram is very easy, as the representation is as simple as a bar chart.You can simply use any .NET Chart Control and assign the depth value for every pixel to the chart control elements; alternatively, you can use basic WPF controls such as StackPanel to represent or draw the depth data as a bar chart.
