  • Publication number: 20240085172
    Abstract: The device includes a projecting device, an image sensor and a computing circuit. The projecting device provides a light beam having a predetermined pattern that is projected onto an object. The image sensor receives the light beam reflected from the object to generate an image. The computing circuit compares the image with a first ground-truth image and a ground-truth image to generate a first depth value and a second depth value respectively. The first and second depth values are combined to generate a depth result.
