    Abstract: A method is provided for calibrating a structured light system which comprises a projector, a camera and at least one processor, wherein the projector emits light at an unknown pattern. The method comprises projecting by the projector an unknown pattern at at least two different distances relative to the camera's location, capturing by the camera the patterns projected at the different distances, determining vertical disparity between the captured images and estimating a relative orientation between the camera and the projector, thereby enabling calibration of the structured light system.

    Abstract: A system configured to operate in an unknown, possibly texture-less environment, with possibly self-similar surfaces, and comprising a plurality of platforms configured to operate as mobile platforms, where each of these platforms comprises an optical depth sensor, and one platform operates as a static platform and comprising at least one optical projector. Upon operating the system, the static platform projects a pattern onto the environment, wherein each of the mobile platforms detects the pattern or a part thereof by its respective optical depth sensor while moving, and wherein information obtained by the optical depth sensors, is used to determine moving instructions for mobile platforms within that environment. Optionally, the system operates so that every time period another mobile platform from among the plurality of platforms, takes the role of operating as the static platform, while the preceding platform returns to operate as a mobile platform.
