Abstract: A method and electronic device for selectively obtaining depth information at locations within a scene are described. Image content analysis is performed on a received image of the scene. Locations within the image to obtain depth information within the scene are determined based on the image analysis. The locations are provided to a LIDAR (light+radar) unit to selectively obtain depth information at the scene locations. The depth information is received from the LIDAR unit and a second image analysis is performed on a second image. The second image analysis is based on the image content of the second image and the received depth information. Updated locations based on the second image analysis may be provided to the LIDAR unit to obtain updated depth information.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to active depth sensing. An example device may include a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor may be configured to determine an amount of ambient light for a scene to be captured by a structured light receiver and adjust an exposure time for frame capture of a sensor of the structured light receiver based on the determined amount of ambient light. The exposure time of the sensor of the structured light receiver is inversely related to the determined amount of ambient light. The processor further may be configured to receive a plurality of captured frames from the structured light receiver based on the adjusted exposure time and generate an aggregated frame, including aggregating values across the plurality of captured frames.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for time-of-flight ranging. An example time-of-flight system includes a transmitter including a plurality of light emitters for transmitting focused light, the plurality of light emitters including a first group of light emitters for transmitting focused light with a first field of transmission and a second group of light emitters for transmitting focused light with a second field of transmission. The first field of transmission at a depth from the transmitter is larger than the second field of transmission at the depth from the transmitter. The time-of-flight system also includes a receiver to receive reflections of the transmitted light.

Abstract: A structured light active sensing systems may be configured to transmit and received codewords to generate a depth map by analyzing disparities between the locations of the transmitted and received codewords. To determine the locations of received codewords, an image of the projected codewords is identified, from which one or more codeword boundaries are detected. The codeword boundaries may be detected based upon a particular codeword bit of each codeword. Each detected codeword boundary may be constrained from overlapping with other detected codeword boundaries, such that no pixel of the received image is associated with more than one codeword boundary.

Abstract: A method includes identifying one or more codewords of a bit sequence that fail to satisfy at least one codeword constraint. The method also includes removing the one or more codewords from the bit sequence to generate a punctured bit sequence. The method further includes determining whether the punctured bit sequence is symmetric. The method includes, in response to determining that the punctured bit sequence is symmetric, generating a hermitian symmetric codebook primitive based at least in part on the punctured bit sequence, where the hermitian symmetric codebook primitive is useable to form a diffractive optical element (DOE) of a structured light depth sensing system.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for structured light depth systems. An example active depth system may include a receiver to receive reflections of transmitted light and a transmitter including one or more light sources to transmit light in a spatial distribution. The spatial distribution of transmitted light may include a first region of a first plurality of light points and a second region of a second plurality of light points. A first density of the first plurality of light points is greater than a second density of the second plurality of light points when a first distance between a center of the spatial distribution and a center of the first region is less than a second distance between the center of the spatial distribution and the center of the second region.
