Abstract: A technique is described herein that employs a resource-efficient image capture system. The image capture system includes an active illumination system for emitting electromagnetic radiation within a physical environment. The image capture system also includes a camera system that includes one or more cameras for detecting electromagnetic radiation received from the physical environment, to produce image information. In one implementation, the technique involves using the same image capture system to produce different kinds of image information for consumption by different respective image processing components. The technique can perform this task by allocating timeslots over a span of time for producing the different kinds of image information. In one case, the image processing components include: a pose tracking component; a controller tracking component; and a surface reconstruction component, etc., any subset of which may be active at any given time.
