Metric Depth
Depth values expressed in real physical units such as meters, as distinguished from relative depth or disparity. In embodied intelligence it is used to compute absolute distances between robots and objects, which is essential for grasping, obstacle avoidance, and navigation.

Relative depth only guarantees that the near-far ordering and proportions between pixels are roughly reasonable, and does not promise absolute physical scale; metric depth requires output in real distances measured in meters, usually needing additional calibration or scale-annotated training data.
