Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for active depth sensing. An example apparatus configured to perform active depth sensing includes a projector. The projector is configured to emit a first distribution of light during a first time and emit a second distribution of light different from the first distribution of light during a second time. A set of final depth values of one or more objects in a scene is based on one or more reflections of the first distribution of light and one or more reflections of the second distribution of light. The projector may include a laser array, and the apparatus may be configured to switch between a first plurality of lasers of the laser array to emit light during the first time and a second plurality of laser to emit light during the second time.
An apparatus for active depth sensing, comprising a projector configured to:
A method for active depth sensing, comprising:
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device performing active depth sensing, cause the device to:
A device for active depth sensing, comprising:
