Abstract
A head-mounted display (HMD) system includes a projector system configured to emit a structured light (SL) pattern onto one or more objects in a local area, the projected SL pattern comprises at least a first SL pattern having a first field of view (FOV) corresponding to a first tileable boundary, and a second SL pattern having a second FOV corresponding to a second tileable boundary. Each of the projected SL patterns contains fiducials at predetermined locations within the SL pattern. An imaging device captures images of the local area including at least portions of the first SL pattern or the second SL patterns. The detected locations of the fiducials in the captured images is used to determine the boundary locations of the first and second SL patterns. Depth information of the local area is generated based upon the determined locations of the first and second SL patterns.
