First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for depth mapping, comprising:
- providing depth mapping resources comprising;
an illumination module, which is configured to project patterned optical radiation into a volume of interest containing an object; and
an image capture module, which is configured to capture an image of the pattern reflected from the object; and
generating a depth map of the object using the resources while applying at least one of the resources non-uniformly over the volume of interest.

Abstract
A method for depth mapping includes providing depth mapping resources including an illumination module, which is configured to project patterned optical radiation into a volume of interest containing the object, and an image capture module, which is configured to capture an image of the pattern reflected from the object. A depth map of the object is generated using the resources while applying at least one of the resources non-uniformly over the volume of interest.

19. Apparatus for depth mapping, comprising:
-
an illumination module, which is configured to project patterned optical radiation, with a given pattern distortion, into a volume of interest containing an object; and an image capture module, which comprises an image sensor and objective optics configured to form an image of the pattern on an image sensor while applying an optical distortion to the image that compensates at least partially for the pattern distortion; and a processor, which is configured to process the image in order to generate a depth map of the object. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
