    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 configured to generate virtual gimbal information for range images produced from 3D depth scans are described. In operation according to embodiments, known and advantageous spatial geometries of features of a scanned volume are exploited to generate virtual gimbal information for a pose. The virtual gimbal information of embodiments may be used to align a range image of the pose with one or more other range images for the scanned volume, such as for combining the range images for use in indoor mapping, gesture recognition, object scanning, etc. Implementations of range image registration using virtual gimbal information provide a realtime one shot direct pose estimator by detecting and estimating the normal vectors for surfaces of features between successive scans which effectively imparts a coordinate system for each scan with an orthogonal set of gimbal axes and defines the relative camera attitude.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for generating a fused depth map from one or more individual depth maps, wherein the fused depth map is configured to provide robust depth estimation for points within the depth map. The methods, apparatus, or systems may comprise components that identify a field of view (FOV) of an imaging device configured to capture an image of the FOV and select a first depth sensing method. The system or method may sense a depth of the FOV with respect to the imaging device using the first selected depth sensing method and generate a first depth map of the FOV based on the sensed depth of the first selected depth sensing method. The system or method may also identify a region of one or more points of the first depth map having one or more inaccurate depth measurements and determine if additional depth sensing is needed.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided to compensate for a misalignment of optical devices within an imaging system. For example, the methods receive image data captured by a first optical device having a first optical axis and a second optical device having a second optical axis. The methods also receive sensor data indicative of a deflection of a substrate that supports the first and second optical devices. The deflection can result from a misalignment of the first optical axis relative to the second optical axis. The methods generate a depth value based on the captured image data and the sensor data. The depth value can reflect a compensation for the misalignment of the first optical axis relative to the second optical axis.
