Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a three-dimensional depth map, are provided. The method comprising the steps of: (i) illuminating a target by a pattern projector having background intensity or by a combination of a pattern projector which does not have a background intensity operative together with a flood projector; (ii) capturing at least one image that comprises one or more objects present at the illuminated target; (iii) converting the at least one captured image into data; (iv) processing the data received from the conversion of the at least one captured image while filtering out the projected pattern from the processed data; (v) detecting edges of at least one of the one or more objects present at the illuminated target; and (vi) generating a three-dimensional depth map that comprises the at least one of the one or more objects whose edges have been determined.

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.

Abstract: An optical passive stereo assembly for generating a three-dimensional image, the optical assembly comprising: two image capturing devices each mounted within the optical passive stereo assembly in a skewed position to the other with respect to the horizontal plane; a processor configured to: process data retrieved from a plurality of pixels comprised within images captured by the two image capturing devices, and generate a point cloud, being a set of data points in a 3D space retrieved from the tilted coordinate system (X′, Y′, Z′); apply a 2D rotation in the X-Y plane to the point cloud, thereby converting the coordinate system of the resulting point cloud to a conventional cartesian coordinate system (X, Y, Z), to enable generating the three-dimensional image.
