Abstract
The invention relates to a depth sensor module and depth sensing method. The depth sensor module and method is adapted to include a light detector part and emitting part with a least two light sources spatially offset in the direction of the triangulation baseline. In some of the embodiments, the pixel field of the image sensor in the light detector part consists of time-of-flight pixels. Depth measurements derived by triangulation can be used to calibrate depth maps generated by the time-of-flight measurements.
