Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to systems and devices configured to determine the distance to objects within a field of view. Namely, at least a portion of the field of view may be illuminated with a coherent light source. Due to interactions between the laser light, the transmission medium, and the object, characteristic laser speckle patterns may be formed. These characteristic laser speckle patterns may be imaged with a camera. Using statistical image analysis, an estimated distance to the objects within the field of view may be obtained. For example, the image frame may be partitioned into a plurality of image segments. An autocorrelation for each image segment of the plurality of image segments may be obtained. A depth map may be obtained based on the autocorrelations.
