Systems and methods of triggering an event based on meeting a certain depth criteria in an image. One innovation of a method includes a identifying at least one object in a field of view of an imaging device, the imaging device configured to capture at least one image of the field of view, determining a threshold depth level, measuring a depth of the at least one object within the field of view with respect to the imaging device, comparing the measured depth of the at least one object to the threshold depth level, and capturing an image of the object when the depth of the object within the field of view exceeds the threshold depth level.
