Abstract:
A method for depth mapping includes projecting a pattern of optical radiation into a volume of interest containing an object while varying an aspect of the pattern over the volume of interest. The optical radiation reflected from the object responsively to the pattern is sensed, and a depth map of the object is generated based on the sensed optical radiation.
