3D Depth Map
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A first device comprising:
- at least one computer medium that is not a transitory signal and that comprises instructions executable by at least one processor to;
access at least one machine learning algorithm (MLA);
process at least one representation of at least one object using the MLA to render an output;
use the output to render a first three dimensional (3D) depth map; and
provide the first 3D depth map to an aggregator device that aggregates the first 3D depth map with a second 3D depth map generated by a second device, the first and second 3D depth maps being aggregated together for a reference location.

Abstract
Machine learning is applied to both 2D images from an infrared imager imaging laser reflections from an object and to the 3D depth map of the object that is generated using the 2D images and time of flight (TOF) information. In this way, the 3D depth map accuracy can be improved without increasing laser power or using high resolution imagers.
