TLDR
In this article, a depth camera system uses a structured light illuminator and multiple sensors such as infrared light detectors, such as in a system which tracks the motion of a user in a field of view.Abstract:
A depth camera system uses a structured light illuminator and multiple sensors such as infrared light detectors, such as in a system which tracks the motion of a user in a field of view. One sensor can be optimized for shorter range detection while another sensor is optimized for longer range detection. The sensors can have a different baseline distance from the illuminator, as well as a different spatial resolution, exposure time and sensitivity. In one approach, depth values are obtained from each sensor by matching to the structured light pattern, and the depth values are merged to obtain a final depth map which is provided as an input to an application. The merging can involve unweighted averaging, weighted averaging, accuracy measures and/or confidence measures. In another approach, additional depth values which are included in the merging are obtained using stereoscopic matching among pixel data of the sensors.read more
