1. A computer readable storage medium for storing computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions providing a depth construction module executed by one or more processing devices, the computer readable instructions performing a method comprising:

  • receiving at least a first depth image from a first depth capture unit and a second depth image from a second depth capture unit,the first depth image and the second depth image being generated, respectively, by the first depth capture unit and the second depth capture unit, in response to;

    projecting, using a first projector, a first projected pattern onto an object;

    projecting, using a second projector, a second projected pattern onto the object;

    capturing, using a first camera, a first captured image of the object;

    capturing, using a second camera, a second captured image of the object;

    providing the first depth image based on the first projected pattern and the first captured image; and

    providing the second depth image based on the second projected pattern and the second captured image;

    identifying at least one deficient portion in at least one of the first depth image and the second depth image;

    generating depth information for said at least one deficient portion using a multi-view reconstruction technique; and

    merging the depth information for said at least one deficient portion with at least the first depth image and the second depth image to produce a depth scene that provides a depth map of the object.
