  • Patent number: 11946733
    Abstract: An image rendering device and an image rendering method are disclosed. For the elements of the image rendering device, a first sensor and a second sensor are configured to sense a target object in a two-dimensional (2D) mode and three-dimensional (3D) mode to generate a first surface-color-signal, a first 3D-depth-signal, a second surface-color-signal and a second 3D-depth-signal respectively. An IR projector is configured to generate an IR-dot-pattern. A processor is configured to control the IR projector to project the IR-dot-pattern on the target object in the 3D mode, and configured to process the first surface-color-signal, the second surface-color-signal, the first 3D-depth-signal and the second 3D-depth-signal to obtain a color 3D model of the target object.

  • Publication number: 20230370729
    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus and a mobile cleaning robot are provided. The image capturing apparatus includes a light emitter, an image sensor, and a filter. The light emitter is configured to emit an invisible light to a target. The image sensor includes a field of view (FOV) covering an area of the target from near to far and is configured to sense the invisible light reflected from the area of the target and generate an image of the area of the target. The filter is configured to filter the invisible light to transform the invisible light into a non-uniform invisible light.
