The definition of Depth in VL53L TOF sensors

Hello, 

I have a FUNDAMENTAL question: TOF VL53 series  sensors report a depth map. Is the depth the "Euclidean distance from the origin (0, 0, 0) to the point (X,Y,Z)" ? or is the orthogonal distance from the camera chip plane to the measured point along the optical axis?? if we use, x y, z  ( z is the sensor chip surface normal direction, i.e., the optical axis) to represent the measured point, the first case is depth^2= x^2+y^2+z^2, The second case is depth=z.

Anyone can give me a concrete proved answer? Many Thanks to you in advance!!
