1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
obtaining, via a depth sensor in a testing apparatus, range information of a scene within a field-of-view (FOV) of the depth sensor, the scene comprising a plurality of targets disposed within the testing apparatus, wherein each of the plurality of targets is located at a different distance from the depth sensor in the testing apparatus;
determining, for validation of a performance of the depth sensor at each of the different distances, one or more metrics indicative of the performance of the depth sensor at the different distance, based on the range information; and
providing an indication of a result of the validation.
