Abstract
A structured-light (SL) method of dynamically generating a depth map includes moving a lens of an image capture device to a first position associated with first depth of field (DOF); capturing first reflected structured light with the first DOF, thereby resulting in a first image; processing the first image to generate a first depth map; moving the lens to a second position associated with second DOF, the second DOF being nearer the image capture device than the first DOF; capturing second reflected structured light with the second DOF, thereby resulting in a second image; processing the second image to generate a second depth map; and combining the first depth map and the second depth map to result in a combined depth map.
