Abstract

An apparatus including a rolling shutter image sensor, a structured light projector and a processor. The rolling shutter image sensor may be configured to capture images. The structured light projector may be configured to generate a structured light pattern. The processor may be configured to receive the images from said rolling shutter image sensor, perform computer vision operations on the images to detect an object in the images, determine a start line location and an end line location corresponding to the object detected and present a control signal to the structured light projector. The control signal may be configured to activate the structured light pattern when the rolling shutter image sensor is at the start line location and deactivate the structured light pattern when the rolling shutter image sensor is at the end line location.
