A depth mapping device comprises a plurality of imaging components arranged among one or more rings. A depth mapping device may be designed by identifying a plurality of configurations satisfying a set of input parameters that includes a number of imaging components, each configuration indicating a different arrangement of imaging components among one or more rings. Coverages for different configuration parameter sets for the configuration are analyzed to determine a configuration parameter set associated with the configuration having a highest coverage, where the coverage is indicative of an amount of a local area viewable by a depth mapping device using the configuration and associated configuration parameter set. A target configuration having a highest coverage is selected and used to generate a depth mapping device design to be manufactured.
