Abstract
An imaging device for imaging of a local area surrounding the imaging device. The imaging device includes a lens assembly, a filtering element and a detector. The lens assembly is configured to receive light from a local area surrounding the imaging device and to direct at least a portion of the received light to the detector. The filtering element is placed in the imaging device within the lens assembly such that light is incident at a surface of the filtering element within a range of angles determined by a design range of angles at which the filtering element is designed to filter light. The detector is configured to capture image(s) of the local area including the filtered light. The imaging device can be integrated into a depth camera assembly for determining depth information of object(s) in the local area based on the captured image(s).
