    摘要: Methods and systems are provided, which illuminate a scene with pulsed patterned light having one or more spatial patterns; detect reflections of the pulsed patterned light from one or more depth ranges in the scene, by activating a detector for detecting the reflections only after respective traveling times of the illumination pulses, which correspond to the depth ranges, have elapsed; and derive an image of the scene from the detected reflections and according to the spatial patterns. The methods and systems integrate gated imaging and structured light synergistically to provide required images which are differentiated with respect to object ranges in the scene and different patterns applied with respect to the objects and their ranges.
