@nasif-co This looks amazing!! I really appreciate your time and effort. I’ll merge it once @AidanNelson’s comments on Discord are addressed.

We’ve structured our reference page as below so that beginner-level students can easily navigate and access the materials. Please understand that the page structure may be adjusted in the future for clarity and consistency.

Structure

• Description
• Quick Start
• Examples
• Step-by-Step Guide
• Methods

So, the following three sections should be included under Step-by-Step Guide:

• Initialization and Options
• Estimating Depth
• Using the Depth Result

The Methods section can be incorporated later.

I might reach out to @XiaozaoWang for a visual that can be placed at the top! 😄

Just pushed the changes addressing the comments by @MOQN and @AidanNelson:

• Restructured the doc to follow the common ml5 format. Also added anchor links to avoid repeating information
• Added the 'Methods' section
• Turned on normalizeDynamically for the demo example, to insure it will not be too dark.

Regarding that last one, the only reason why I don't want to change it to the COLOR colormap is because we decided that grayscale would be the default colormap in ml5js/ml5-next-gen#248 (comment). The thinking was that it is easier to understand how depth is mapped from black to white. Understanding that same idea with color mapping is harder for beginners.

So I think the happy medium is to turn on normalizeDynamically. This makes it so the depthmap colors are mapped from the far and close values detected, not by preset static values. Therefore there'll always be a brighter area.

This is fantastic!! 🤩 Thank you for incorporating the feedback so promptly! Merging it now :D
