Abstract
Parallax views of objects are used to generate 3D depth maps of the objects using time of flight (TOF) information. In this way, the deleterious effects of multipath interference can be reduced to improve 3D depth map accuracy without using computationally intensive algorithms.
Claims8
A device comprising:
- at least one computer medium that is not a transitory signal and that comprises instructions executable by at least one processor to:
- receive at least a first camera image of at least one object from a first image generation location;
- receive at least a camera image of the at least one object from a second image generation location, the first and second image generation locations rendering parallax views of the object;
- and
- use the first and second camera images to render a three-dimensional (3D) depth map.
