Abstract

A depth camera assembly (DCA) that captures data describing depth information in a local area. The DCA includes an imaging device, a controller, and an illumination source. The illumination source includes a plurality of emitters on a single substrate. The imaging device captures one or more images of the local area illuminated with the light from the illumination source. The controller determines depth information for objects in the local area using the one or more images.
