About
Per-pixel distance from the camera, usually aligned to an RGB frame. Units differ between producers (metres vs millimetres) but converting is a scale, so the unit is informative, not a mating condition. A data contract, not a transport: the same frame may arrive over a ROS 2 topic (sensor_msgs/Image), a Python API call or a file. How it travels is a separate interface port (ros2-topic, python-api…); this type says what it is.
