Abstract
An apparatus is described that includes an integrated two-dimensional image capture and three-dimensional time-of-flight depth capture system. The three-dimensional time-of-flight depth capture system includes an illuminator to generate light. The illuminator includes arrays of light sources. Each of the arrays is dedicated to a particular different partition within a partitioned field of view of the illuminator.

(Cancelled)
A method for manufacturing a depth camera comprising:
- mounting, on a planar board, an illuminator having a field of view and comprising a plurality of arrays of light sources, wherein each array of light sources is associated with a respective sub-region of the field of view;
- mounting an optical element comprising (i) a planar, source surface that faces the illuminator, (ii) a planar, emission surface that is obverse to the source surface, and (iii) a plurality of arrays of micro-lenses positioned on the source surface, on a housing over the illuminator such that each micro-lens is aligned with a respective light source;
- and
- mounting, on the planar board, an image sensor.
