Abstract
Systems and methods for reconstructing an object boundary in a disparity map generated by a structured light system are disclosed. One aspect is a structured light system. The system includes an image projecting device configured to project codewords. The system further includes a receiver device including a sensor, the receiver device configured to sense the projected codewords reflected from an object. The system further includes a processing circuit configured to generate a disparity map of the object, detect a first boundary of the object in the disparity map, identify a shadow region in the disparity map adjoining the first boundary, the shadow region including pixels with codeword outages, and change a shape of the object in the disparity map based on the detected shadow region. The system further includes a memory device configured to store the disparity map.
