Abstract: A method is provided for assembling a 3D sensing apparatus that comprises at least two projectors, wherein the assembling of the apparatus is carried out by ensuring that a pattern formed from a combination of images projected by each of the at least two projectors, is not formed along an epi-polar line or part thereof more than once. The method comprises the steps of: placing the at least two projectors at initial approximate physical positions within the 3D sensing apparatus; and, placing one or more projectors' protectors on top of the at least two projectors, thereby changing the projectors initial positions and automatically positioning them accurately in their pre-defined position and orientation by using the one or more projectors' protectors.

Abstract: An image capturing arrangement is provided which comprises a depth (3D) sensor, a processor, an illuminating device and one or more image capturing devices. The depth sensor is configured to acquire at least a partial representation of the scene whose image is about to be taken, the processor retrieves required information from the acquired representation about distances of objects included in that scene from the sensor, and the illuminating device is configured to provide a non-uniform illumination of the scene whose image is to be captured, based on the retrieved information.

Abstract: A system for video conferencing is disclosed. The system comprises a data processor which receives from a remote location a stream of imagery data of a remote user, and displays an image of the remote user on a display device. The data processor also receives a stream of imagery data of an individual in a local scene in front of the display device, and extracts a gaze direction and/or a head orientation of the individual. The data processor varies a view of the image responsively to the gaze direction and/or the head orientation.

Abstract: A method is provided for obtaining a disparity map for reconstructing a three dimensional image. The map is based upon a large range of disparities and is obtained by using a hardware provided with a buffer capable of storing data that relates to substantially less disparities than a data associated with the large disparities' range. The method comprises the steps of: providing a pair of stereoscopic images captured by two image capturing devices; dividing the large disparities' range into N disparity ranges; executing a stereo matching algorithm for a plurality of times, using data retrieved from a pair of captured images, wherein the algorithm is executed each time while using a different disparity range out of the N disparity ranges, thereby obtaining a plurality of individual disparity maps, each corresponding to a different disparity range; and merging the individual disparity maps to generate a map of the large disparities' range.

Abstract: A method is provided for generating a three dimensional frame. The method comprises the steps of: retrieving information that relates to a plurality of images of a target captured by two image capturing devices; determining data that will be applied for analyzing objects of interests included in the captured images; calculating disparity between groups of corresponding frames, wherein each of said groups comprises frames taken essentially simultaneously by the two image capturing devices; determining an initial estimation of a disparity range for the frames included in the groups of the corresponding frames; evaluating a disparity range value for each proceeding group based on information retrieved on a dynamic basis from frames included therein, and changing the value of said disparity range when required; and applying a current value of the disparity range in a stereo matching algorithm, and generating a three-dimensional frame for each proceeding group of corresponding frames.
