  • Three-dimensional sensor acuity recovery assistance
    Patent number: 11836940
    Abstract: A computing device includes: a three-dimensional (3D) sensor configured to capture point cloud data from a field of view (FOV); an auxiliary sensor configured to capture reference depth measurements corresponding to a surface within the FOV; a controller connected with the 3D sensor and the auxiliary sensor, the controller configured to: detect a reference depth capture condition; when the reference depth capture condition satisfies a quality criterion, control the auxiliary sensor to capture a reference depth corresponding to the surface within the FOV; and initiate, based on the captured reference depth, generation of corrective data for use at the 3D sensor to capture the point cloud data.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 5, 2023
    Assignee: Zebra Technologies Corporation
    Inventors: Patrick B. Tilley, Ronald Zancola, Aleksandar Rajak, Kevin Kar Yin Chan, Peter Randall Daly, Sanjeewa Thimirachandra, Raghavendra Tenkasi Shankar, Alexander Miller, Scott R. Murchison, Eliran Noach
