Abstract
An apparatus for enhancing stereoscopic imaging include a light projector, a stereo camera and a control circuit. The light projector may be configured to project a pattern of light in a direction. The pattern may include (i) a background pattern that illuminates an area along the direction and (ii) a textured pattern that varies an intensity of the light in the area. The stereo camera may be configured to generate two sequences of synchronized images by imaging the area. The control circuit may be configured to (i) control power to the light projector, (ii) receive the two sequences of synchronized images from the stereo camera and (iii) generate one or more output signals in response to the two sequences of synchronized images.
