  • Method of enhanced depth image acquisition
    Patent number: 9578313
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for depth image acquisition of an object wherein at least two time-of-flight cameras are provided and the object is illuminated with a plurality of different light emission states by emitting light signals from each camera. Measurements of the light reflected by the object during each light emission state are obtained at all the cameras wherein the measurements may then be used to optimize the depth images at each of the cameras.
    Type: Grant
