Abstract
The subject disclosure is directed towards active depth sensing based upon moving a projector or projector component to project a moving light pattern into a scene. Via the moving light pattern captured over a set of frames, e.g., by a stereo camera system, and estimating light intensity at sub-pixel locations in each stereo frame, higher resolution depth information at a sub-pixel level may be computed than is captured by the native camera resolution.
