By using the depth map as a displacement source, artists can add subtle 3D motion to flat photos, a technique often seen in high-end documentaries and "parallax" photo animations.
At its core, Depth Scanner is an AI-based tool designed for Adobe After Effects. Unlike traditional methods that require expensive hardware like LiDAR or complex stereo camera setups, version 1.7.2 utilizes sophisticated neural networks to predict depth maps from single images or video sequences. This capability allows artists to:
