Stream Configuration Reference - DWE.ai

When adding a stream in the DeepWater Desktop Quickstart, you choose a depth mode, an input type, and a network protocol. Use the tables below to pick the combination that suits your requirements.

Depth Modes

Depth Mode	Resolution	Description
ML Slow	800 x 600	Flagship ML model designed for highly accurate live instantaneous measurements.
ML Medium	600 x 450	Designed for moderately accurate measurements while improving FPS.
ML Fast	400 x 300	Designed for more limited systems or for high FPS requirements.
SGM	800 x 600 or 400 x 300	Traditional computer vision algorithm that does not use machine learning or AI. Ideal for SLAM applications.

Input Types

Input Type	Description
USB	Select your attached explore3D or other compatible hardware for live processing.
DWVO File	1:1 Recordings of the original hardware feed. Playback simply reruns the image sequences through the processing algorithm to allow playback.

Network Protocols

Network Protocol	Description
Depth Only	Generate a depth map and point cloud from the current frame.
Coverage Mapping (VSLAM)	Track camera movement and build a dense point cloud from the image stream. Go to Coverage Mapping for an in-depth usage guide.
