Abstract
A method for facilitating removal of multipath signal interference from light data can comprise illuminating, with an illumination unit, a target with a light source. The illumination unit can be configured to project a high spatial-frequency pattern onto the target in such a way as to redistribute spectral energy to higher frequencies. The method can also comprise acquiring, with a sensor unit, reflected light data reflected from the target. The reflected light data can comprise an array of spatial domain information received from light reflected by the target. Further, the method can comprise processing, with the one or more processors, the reflected light data. The processing applies a high-pass filter within the spatial domain to the reflected light data.
