Summary: | The technology described herein is a depth camera that uses structured light and modulated light to produce a depth image. The modulated and structured light allows a time-of-flight depth to be calculated for each unit (e.g., a single dot) of the reflected structured light image captured by the depth camera's image sensor. The time-of-flight depth can be used to accurately identify each unit of the reflected structured light image. Once each unit of the reflected structured light image is identified, a structured light triangulation algorithm can be used to calculate a depth for each unit of the reflected structured light image. The present technology also allows a confidence score to be generated for the assigned depths within the depth image by comparing the structured light depth for each unit to the TOF depth for each unit. |
