  • Publication number: 20240412329
    Abstract: A depth information detector includes a light receiving module and a processor. The light receiving module includes a first receiver and a second receiver set at intervals. The first receiver and the second receiver receive a reflected light reflected by an object to be detected at different positions respectively. The processor electrically connects to the light receiving module. The processor is configured for synthesizing the reflected light received by the first receiver and the second receiver into a depth image. The light receiving module also includes a first polarizer and a second polarizer, the first polarizer is on one side of the first receiver, the second polarizer is on one side of the second receiver, a polarization direction of the first polarizer and a polarization direction of the second polarizer are orthogonal to each other. A time-of-flight camera and a depth image acquisition method are further disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240281929
    Abstract: A method for reconstructing images, an electronic device and a storage medium is provided. In the method, the electronic device obtains an image to be reconstructed of an object captured by a target camera device, and obtains a sample image of the object. A radial basis function network is trained based on the image to be reconstructed and the sample image. An image reconstruction model is obtained by converting the radial basis function network based on a deconvolution algorithm, the image reconstruction model is configured for reconstructing images captured by the target camera device. By performing the method, a clarity of the image to be reconstructed can be improved.

  • Patent number: 10962355
    Abstract: A 3D (three dimensional) model reconstruction method that includes the steps outlined below. Depth data of a target object corresponding to a current time spot is received. Camera pose data of the depth camera corresponding to the current time spot is received. Posed 3D point clouds corresponding to the current time spot are generated according to the depth data and the camera pose data. Posed estimated point clouds corresponding to the current time spot are generated according to the camera pose data corresponding to the current time spot and a previous 3D model corresponding to a previous time spot. A current 3D model of the target object is generated according to the posed 3D point clouds based on a difference between the posed 3D point clouds and the posed estimated point clouds.
