Abstract: Image sensor modules include primary high-resolution imagers and secondary imagers. For example, an image sensor module may include a semiconductor chip including photosensitive regions defining, respectively, a primary camera and a secondary camera. The image sensor module may include an optical assembly that does not substantially obstruct the field-of-view of the secondary camera. Some modules include multiple secondary cameras that have a field-of-view at least as large as the field-of-view of the primary camera. Various features are described to facilitate acquisition of signals that can be used to calculate depth information.

Abstract: An optoelectronic system for collecting three-dimensional data of a scene over a minimum and maximum distance includes illumination modules, each of which is operable to generate a respective light pattern having a respective period. An imaging module is operable to collect a scene-reflected portion of each of the light patterns and is further operable to convert each collected portion into a respective signal set. Each scene-reflected portion is characterized by a respective plurality of ambiguity values and a minimum disparity value, and wherein each signal set corresponds to a respective one of the light patterns. The system includes a processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations for determining a plurality of candidate three-dimensional data sets. Each candidate three-dimensional data set is determined from a respective one of the signal sets. The instructions also cause the processor to perform further operations for determining three-dimensional data of the scene from the plurality of candidate three-dimensional data sets.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes projecting a structured light pattern projected onto a surface and detecting and responding to interactions with the same. The techniques described here can, in some cases, facilitate recognizing that an object such as a user's hand is adjacent the plane of a projection surface and can distinguish the object from the projection surface itself. Movement of the object then can be interpreted, for example, as a specified type of gesture that can trigger a specified type of operation to occur.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes imaging techniques and devices having improved autofocus capabilities. The imaging techniques can include actively illuminating a scene and determining distances over the entire scene and so that a respective distance to each object or point in the scene can be determined. Thus, distances to all objects in a scene (within a particular range) at any given instant can be stored. A preview of the image can be displayed so as to allow a user to select a region of the scene of interest. In response to the user's selection, the imager's optical assembly can be adjusted automatically, for example, to a position that corresponds to optimal image capture of objects at the particular distance of the selected region of the scene.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes projecting a structured light pattern onto a surface and detecting and responding to interactions with the same. A method includes-acquiring an image based on light reflected from a vicinity of the projection surface, and identifying regions of the acquired image that correspond to a feature that is within a specified distance of the projection surface by identifying regions of the acquired image for which intensity data differs relative to other regions of the acquired image and which fit a specified homographic relationship with respect to corresponding regions of a reference image.

Abstract: Presenting a merged, fused three-dimensional point cloud includes acquiring multiple sets of images of a scene from different vantage points, each set of images including respective stereo matched images and a color image. For each respective set of images, a disparity map based on the plurality of stereo images is obtained, data from the color image is fused onto the disparity map so as to generate a fused disparity map, and a three-dimensional fused point cloud is created from the fused disparity map. The respective three-dimensional fused point clouds is merged together so as to obtain a merged, fused three-dimensional point cloud. The techniques can be advantageous even under the constraints of sparseness and low-depth resolution, and are suitable, in some cases, for real-time or near real-time applications in which computing time needs to be reduced.
