  • Patent number: 11915512
    Abstract: A three-dimensional sensing system includes a plurality of scanners each emitting a light signal to a scene to be sensed and receiving a reflected light signal, according to which depth information is obtained. Only one scanner executes transmitting corresponding light signal and receiving corresponding reflected light signal at a time.

  • Publication number: 20240037767
    Abstract: A 3D sensing system including a liquid crystal lens, a projector, an image sensor and a circuit. The projector provides a light beam to the liquid crystal lens which applies a pattern to the light beam to generate a structured light. The image sensor captures an image corresponding to the structured light. The circuit calculates first depth information according to the pattern and the image, and determines if the image satisfies a quality requirement. If the image does not satisfy the quality requirement, the pattern is modified and another image is captured for calculating second depth information. The first and second depth information are combined to generate a depth map.

  • Publication number: 20230333251
    Abstract: A 3D sensing system is provided. The 3D sensing system includes a first sensing device, a second sensing device and a controller. The first sensing device provides at least one first emitting light and receives a first sensing signal based on a first sensing timing. The second sensing device provides at least one second emitting light and receives a second sensing signal based on a second sensing timing. The controller adjusts at least one of the first sensing timing and the second sensing timing according to an interference result of the second sensing signal by the first sensing device.
