Abstract
A depth sensor receives depth data indicative of a distance from the depth sensor to a three-dimensional spatial zone. The depth data is based on an in-focus status of a projection of the three-dimensional spatial zone onto a multi-pixel sensing zone of an imaging sensor. The three-dimensional spatial zone is one of at least two distinct three-dimensional spatial zones. The multi-pixel sensing zone is one of at least two distinct multi-pixel sensing zones of the imaging sensor. Object data of an object residing in at least the three-dimensional spatial zone is received. Fused data is generated. The fused data comprises the depth data, and the object data.
