Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for structured light depth systems. An example active depth system may include a receiver to receive reflections of transmitted light and a transmitter including one or more light sources to transmit light in a spatial distribution. The spatial distribution of transmitted light may include a first region of a first plurality of light points and a second region of a second plurality of light points. A first density of the first plurality of light points is greater than a second density of the second plurality of light points when a first distance between a center of the spatial distribution and a center of the first region is less than a second distance between the center of the spatial distribution and the center of the second region.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reconstructing an object boundary in a disparity map generated by a structured light system are disclosed. One aspect is a structured light system. The system includes an image projecting device configured to project codewords. The system further includes a receiver device including a sensor, the receiver device configured to sense the projected codewords reflected from an object. The system further includes a processing circuit configured to generate a disparity map of the object, detect a first boundary of the object in the disparity map, identify a shadow region in the disparity map adjoining the first boundary, the shadow region including pixels with codeword outages, and change a shape of the object in the disparity map based on the detected shadow region. The system further includes a memory device configured to store the disparity map.

Abstract: Aspects relate to a depth sensing system for capturing an image containing depth information of an object. In one embodiment, a depth sensing device for use in conjunction with multiple depth sensing devices for capturing an image containing depth information of an object comprises a near-infrared transmitter comprising a laser capable of producing a near infra-red light beam, a diffractive optical element positioned to receive a light beam emitted from the laser, the diffractive optical element, a collimating lens, and a near-infrared receiver coupled to the transmitter in a relative position, the receiver comprising a sensor assembly capable of producing an image of the received light, the depth sensing device being configured to transmit and receive near infra-red light beams during a time period that is different than any of the other of two or more transmitter-receiver pairs of devices in communication with the depth sensing device.

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.

Abstract: Aspects relate to a method of generating a high-resolution image containing depth information of an object. In one aspect, the method includes downsampling a first reference image and a second reference image from a first resolution to a second resolution, wherein the first resolution is higher than the second resolution, and wherein the first reference image and the second reference image comprising a stereo image pair. The method further includes generating a depth map at the second resolution based on global minimization techniques, using the downsampled stereo image pair. The method also includes upsampling the depth map from the second resolution to the first resolution and using a guided filter to align contours of the upsampled depth map to contours of the first reference image.

Abstract: Structured light active sensing systems transmit and receive spatial codes to generate depth maps. Spatial codes can't be repeated within a disparity range if they are to be uniquely identified. This results in large numbers of codes for single transmitter/single receiver systems, because reflected ray traces from two object locations may be focused onto the same location of the receiver sensor, making it impossible to determine which object location reflected the code. However, the original code location may be uniquely identified because ray traces from the two object locations that focus onto the same location of the first receiver sensor may focus onto different locations on the second receiver sensor. Described herein are active sensing systems and methods that use two receivers to uniquely identify original code positions and allow for greater code reuse.
