16-bit depth data with distance values at each pixel


Description
===========

This is a 16-bit format, representing depth data. Each pixel is a
distance to the respective point in the image coordinates. Distance unit
can vary and has to be negotiated with the device separately. Each pixel
is stored in a 16-bit word in the little endian byte order.

**Byte Order.**
Each cell is one byte.

Annotation

Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
Implementation status: atlas-only.

Implementation Notes

This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
