Abstract
An example apparatus for depth sensing includes an image data receiver to receive image data from a communication camera and an augmented reality (AR) camera. The apparatus also includes a modulated light detector to detect one or more modulated lights in the image data from the communication camera. The apparatus further includes a representation generator to generate a visual representation of a local image region for each of the detected modulated lights. The apparatus includes a region matcher to match the visual representation for each of the detected modulated lights with a region in the image data received from the AR camera. The apparatus also further includes a distance estimator to estimate a distance between a dual camera receiver and the one or more modulated lights based on a disparity between a position of the visual representation and a position of the matched region in the image data.
