Abstract:
A method for capturing a depth map includes: controlling a plurality of cameras to capture, concurrently, a plurality of first images during a first exposure interval, each of the cameras concurrently capturing a corresponding one of the first images, the cameras having overlapping fields of view; controlling a projection source to emit light at a first illumination level during the first exposure interval; controlling the cameras to capture, concurrently, a plurality of second images during a second exposure interval, each of the cameras concurrently capturing a corresponding one of the second images; controlling the projection source to emit light at a second illumination level during the second exposure interval, the second illumination level being different from the first illumination level; combining the first images with the second images to generate a depth map; and outputting the depth map.
