Abstract
Systems and methods for estimating depth from projected texture using camera arrays are described. A camera array includes a conventional camera and at least one two-dimensional array of cameras, where the conventional camera has a higher resolution than the cameras in the at least one two-dimensional array of cameras, an illumination system configured to illuminate a scene with a projected texture, where an image processing pipeline application directs the processor to: utilize the illumination system controller application to control the illumination system to illuminate a scene with a projected texture, capture a set of images of the scene illuminated with the projected texture, and determining depth estimates for pixel locations in an image from a reference viewpoint using at least a subset of the set of images.
