Abstract: A mechanism is described for facilitating code filters for coded light depth acquisition in depth images at computing devices according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes detecting a code image of an object comprising pixels of code values and pixels of metadata values including confidence and code transition locations, and computing a vertical filter to be applied to the code image to smooth out the code transitions along vertical directions. The method further include computing a horizontal filter to be applied to the code image to smooth out the code transitions along horizontal directions, and computing a consistency filter to be applied to the code image to increase an accuracy of the code values and mark inconsistent pixels as invalid. The method may further include applying at least one of one or more of the vertical filter, the horizontal filter, and the consistency filter to filter the digital image, and outputting the filtered code image comprising filtered code values and filtered metadata values.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for projector distortion compensation in structured light depth reconstruction are described. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a projector configured to project a sequence of light patterns on an object; a first camera configured to capture a sequence of images of the object illuminated with the projected light patterns; a processing unit to receive the sequence of images and reconstruct depth using triangulation in response to camera and projector location coordinates; and a projector distortion compensation unit operable to generate a new projector location coordinate in response to an observed distorted projector location coordinate, the projector distortion compensation unit to provide the new projector location coordinate to the processing unit for use in generating depth values via triangulation.

Abstract: Example range estimation apparatus disclosed herein are to estimate a signal power parameter and a noise power parameter of a light detecting and ranging (LIDAR) system based on first data to be output from a light capturing device of the LIDAR system. Disclosed example range estimation apparatus are also to estimate a propagation delay associated with second data output from the light capturing device, the second data associated with a modulated light beam projected by the LIDAR system, the propagation delay estimated based on templates corresponding to different possible propagation delays, the templates based on the signal power parameter and the noise power parameter.

Abstract: Arrangements (e.g., apparatus, system, method, article of manufacture) for reconstructing a depth image of a scene. Some embodiments include: a processor; and a non-transitory computer readable medium to store a set of instructions for execution by the processor, the set of instructions to cause the processor to perform various operations. Operations include: collecting multiple data sets for a code-modulated light pulse reflected from an object in a scene, with each data set associated with a direction in a set of directions for the reflected code-modulated light pulse; assigning a fitness value to each data set based on one or more parameters of a model; and reconstructing a depth image providing a depth at each direction based on a corresponding data set and fitness value, the depth to correspond with a round-trip delay time of the code-modulated light pulse.
