Abstract:
A device connectable to a near eye display or to a virtual reality headset and to a portable computing platform having a processor is provided herein. The device may include: an illuminator configured to illuminate a proximity of a user wearing the headset or the near eye display with patterned light; and an IR camera configured to capture reflections of said patterned light coming from at least one object located in the proximity of the user, wherein the processor is configured to: establish data and power connection between the device and said portable computing platform and said near eye display; and generate a depth map of said object based on the reflections.
Abstract:
An optical sensing device for using light to locate objects or features in a field of view comprises a light source; a controllable lens having two states and being controllable between them, for example a multifocal lens having two or more foci for focusing light from the light source; and a sensor able to sense light reflected from an object, to determine information of the object. The use of two or more foci adds dynamic range to optical sensing to allow for reliable detection over a wide range of distances.
Abstract:
A method and system for estimating edge data in patterned light analysis are provided herein. The method may include: obtaining an original depth map of an object generated based on structured light analysis of a pattern comprising stripes; determining portions of the original depth map in which z-axis value is inaccurate given an edge of the object; detecting geometric feature of the object associated with the determined portion, based on neighboring portions of the depth map; and estimating the missing z-axis data along the edge of the object, based on the detecting geometric feature of the object.
