Abstract: An optical system includes an illumination source, a volume hologram, and an image-forming optic. The illumination source is configured to emit coherent light, and the volume hologram is configured to receive and diffract the coherent light. The image-forming optic is arranged opposite the volume hologram and configured to receive the coherent light diffracted by the volume hologram and to spatially modulate the coherent light to form an image.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure are directed towards safely projecting a diffracted light pattern, such as in an infrared laser-based projection/illumination system. Non-diffracted (zero-order) light is refracted once to diffuse (defocus) the non-diffracted light to an eye safe level. Diffracted (non-zero-order) light is aberrated twice, e.g., once as part of diffraction by a diffracting optical element encoded with a Fresnel lens (which does not aberrate the non-diffracted light), and another time to cancel out the other aberration; the two aberrations may occur in either order. Various alternatives include upstream and downstream positioning of the diffracting optical element relative to a refractive optical element, and/or refraction via positive and negative lenses.

Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards a high resolution, high frame rate, robust stereo depth system. The system provides depth data in varying conditions based upon stereo matching of images, including actively illuminated IR images in some implementations. A clean IR or RGB image may be captured and used with any other captured images in some implementations. Clean IR images may be obtained by using a notch filter to filter out the active illumination pattern. IR stereo cameras, a projector, broad spectrum IR LEDs and one or more other cameras may be incorporated into a single device, which may also include image processing components to internally compute depth data in the device for subsequent output.

Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards projecting light in a pattern in which the pattern contains components (e.g., spots) having different intensities. The pattern may be based upon a grid of initial points associated with first intensities and points between the initial points with second intensities, and so on. The pattern may be rotated relative to cameras that capture the pattern, with captured images used active depth sensing based upon stereo matching of dots in stereo images.

Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards controlling the intensity of illumination of a scene or part of a scene, including to conserve illumination power. Quality of depth data in stereo images may be measured with different illumination states; environmental conditions, such as ambient light, natural texture may affect the quality. The illumination intensity may be controllably varied to obtain sufficient quality while conserving power. The control may be directed to one or more regions of interest corresponding to an entire scene or part of a scene.
