  • Publication number: 20220394221
    Abstract: A structured-light scanning system with thermal compensation includes a structured-light projector that generates a predetermined projected pattern of light, which is then projected onto and reflected from an object, thereby resulting in a reflected pattern of light; an image sensor that captures the reflected pattern of light; and a digital processing unit that generates a depth map according to the reflected pattern of light and a compensated projected pattern associated with a current temperature.

  • Patent number: 10977775
    Abstract: A depth decoding system and a method for rectifying a ground-truth image are introduced. The depth decoder system includes a projector, a camera, a processor and a decoder. The projector is configured to project a structural light pattern to a first reference plane and a second reference plane. The camera is configured to capture a first ground-truth image from the first reference plane and capture a second ground-truth image from the second reference plane. The processor is configured to perform a rectification operation to the first ground-truth image and the second ground-truth image to generate a rectified ground-truth image. The decoder is configured to generate a depth result according to the rectified ground-truth image.
