    Abstract: A method and device is provided that compensates for different reflectivity/absorption coefficients of objects in a scene/object when performing active depth sensing using structured light. A receiver sensor captures an image of a scene onto which a code mask is projected. One or more parameters are ascertained from the captured image. Then a light source power for a projecting light source is dynamically adjusted according to the one or more parameters to improve decoding of the code mask in a subsequently captured image. Depth information for the scene may then be ascertained based on the captured image based on the code mask. In one example, the light source power is fixed at a particular illumination while an exposure time for the receiver sensor is adjusted. In another example, an exposure time for the receiver sensor is maintained/kept at a fixed value while the light source power is adjusted.

    Abstract: A receiver sensor captures a plurality of images, at two or more (different) exposure times, of a scene onto which a code mask is projected. The two or more of the plurality of images are combined by extracting decodable portions of the code mask from each image to generate a combined image. Alternatively, two receiver sensors, each at a different exposure time, are used to capture a plurality of images. The first and second images are then combined by extracting decodable portions of the code mask from each image to generate a combined image. Depth information for the scene may then be ascertained based on the combined image and using the code mask.
