Abstract: An imaging system (500) includes an optical unit (100) that captures, from a scene (900), sets of first images (RWL, GWL, BWL) as well as sets of second images (RSL, GSL, BSL), wherein the scene (900) is illuminated with non-structured light when the sets of first images (RWL, GWL, BWL) are captured and wherein the scene (900) is illuminated with structured light when the sets of second images (RSL, GSL, BSL) are captured. A pattern processing unit (200) generates, from the second images (RSL, GSL, BSL), a recovered shadow pattern from a shadow pattern projected onto the scene (900) during illumination with structured light, wherein at least one motion-compensated reference image is used. A depth processing unit (300) obtains depth information (DI) on the basis of the recovered shadow pattern.
