    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for determining a depth of an object within a scene are provided. Image data of a scene can be captured using a lens configured to project an image of the scene onto an image sensor. The lens has a known focal length and is movable between at least a first lens position and a second lens position. A first image of the scene is captured with the lens at a first lens position, and a second image of the scene is captured with the lens at a second, different position. By measuring a first dimension of the object using the first image and a second dimension of the object using the second image, a depth of the object may be determined based upon a ratio of the first and second dimensions, the focal length of the lens, and a distance between the first and second lens positions.

    Abstract: A method operational on a transmitter device is provided for projecting a composite code mask. A composite code mask on a tangible medium is obtained, where the composite code mask includes a code layer combined with a carrier layer. The code layer may include uniquely identifiable spatially-coded codewords defined by a plurality of symbols. The carrier layer may be independently ascertainable and distinct from the code layer and includes a plurality of reference objects that are robust to distortion upon projection. At least one of the code layer and carrier layer may be pre-shaped by a synthetic point spread function prior to projection. At least a portion of the composite code mask is projected, by the transmitter device, onto a target object to help a receiver ascertain depth information for the target object with a single projection of the composite code mask.

One aspect provides for a method that includes estimating areas in adjacent frames that correspond to a moving object by generating a probability map for each received frame, the probability map comprising a probability value at each pixel. The method also includes computing a convex temporal average map using a plurality of the reflected structured light frames including at least the prior frame received at time t−1, the received frame received at time t, and the next frame received at time t+1, the value at each pixel of the convex temporal average map weighted and normalized by the probability map at each pixel at each time. The method also includes determining the codewords at each pixel in the convex temporal average map, and generating a depth map from the determined codewords.
