Abstract: Techniques related to generating holographic images are discussed. Such techniques include application of a hybrid system including a pre-trained deep neural network and a subsequent iterative process using a sui table propagation model to generate diffraction pattern image data for a target holographic image such that the diffraction pattern image data is to generate a holographic image when implemented via a holographic display.

Abstract: A light pattern projector with a pattern mask to spatially modulate an intensity of a wideband illumination source, such as an LED, and a projector lens to reimage the spatially modulated emission onto regions of a scene that is to be captured with an image sensor. The projector lens may comprise a microlens array (MLA) including a first lenslet to reimage the spatially modulated emission onto a first portion of a scene, and a second lenslet to reimage the spatially modulated emission onto a first portion of a scene. The MLA may have a fly's eye architecture with convex curvature over a diameter of the projector lens in addition to the lenslet curvature. The pattern mask may be an amplitude mask comprising a mask pattern of high and low amplitude transmittance regions. In the alternative, the pattern mask may be a phase mask, such as a refractive or diffractive mask.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques related to projecting dynamic feature patterns onto a scene for use in stereoscopic imaging are discussed. Such techniques may include implementing a dynamic transmissive element in an optical path between a projector and the scene to modify a static pattern emitted from the projector to illuminate the scene with a dynamic pattern.

Abstract: In accordance with disclosed embodiments, there are provided systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing a stereodepth camera using a VCSEL projector with a controlled projection lens. For instance, a depth camera is described having therein a Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser projector (VCSEL projector) to emit a plurality of infrared beams; a moveable lens to control the focus of the plurality of infrared beams emitted from the VCSEL projector, in which the plurality of infrared beams are projected through the moveable lens to form a projected pattern projected onto a scene; stereoscopic image capture devices to capture stereoscopic imagery from the scene having the projected pattern projected thereupon; and processing circuitry to determine depth to an object in the scene based on the captured stereoscopic imagery from the scene having the projected pattern represented therein as projected from the VCSEL projector. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques related to removing infrared texture patterns used for depth sensors are discussed. Such techniques may include applying a color correction transform to raw input image data including a residual infrared texture pattern to generate output image data such that the output image data has a reduced IR texture pattern residual with respect to the raw input image data.

For instance, a depth camera is described having therein a Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser projector (VCSEL projector); in which the VCSEL projector embodies a VCSEL array, the VCSEL being comprised of a plurality of VCSEL elements divided into a plurality of individually addressable subsets of the plurality of VCSEL elements; processing circuitry to activate one or more of the individually addressable subsets of the plurality of VCSEL elements to cause the VCSEL projector to emit a plurality of infrared beams through a projection lens to form a projected pattern which is projected onto a scene; stereoscopic image capture devices to capture stereoscopic imagery from the scene having the projected pattern projected thereupon; and processing circuitry to determine depth to an object in the scene based on the captured stereoscopic imagery from the scene having the projected pattern represented therein as projected from the VCSEL projector.
