Abstract: A method for depth mapping includes providing a depth mapping device comprising a projector, which is configured to project a pattern of optical radiation onto a target area over a first field of view about a projection axis, and a camera, which is configured to capture images of the target area within a second field of view, narrower than the first field of view, about a camera axis, which is offset transversely relative to the projection axis. The projector projects the pattern onto first and second planes at first and second distances from the camera, and the camera captures first and second reference images containing first and second parts of the pattern on the first and second planes, respectively. The first and second reference images are combined to produce an extended reference image including both the first and second parts of the pattern.

Abstract: A method for monitoring species of algae for stress comprises growing a test set of algae of a given species, applying a stress of a predetermined kind to some of the algae, and irradiating the algae at a predetermined first set of wavelengths. The algae are then monitored at a predetermined second set of wavelengths to detect fluorescence and/or absorbance carried out on the first set of wavelengths by the stressed algae. The detected fluorescence and/or absorbance is compared for each irradiation wavelength between the stressed algae and unstressed algae to find signs indicating the applied stress. There is then a stage of searching through combinations of respective irradiation wavelengths and detected wavelengths to find a minimal set of irradiating and detected wavelengths that detects the stress. The smallest size set is then used in irradiating further sets of algae of the tested species to detect the given stress.
