Smart Terrain is a feature of the Qualcomm Vuforia SDK that allows devices with depth sensing cameras to reconstruct environments and interact with objects and surfaces. It provides advantages over standard cameras like automatic initialization and faster, richer results without requiring motion. Smart Terrain uses infrared depth sensors to project infrared light, fuse the RGB image with a depth map, and reconstruct surfaces and objects in the environment. Developers can utilize the Smart Terrain API for consistent lifecycle management and event handling across depth sensing devices.
