Abstract
An example method includes causing a light projecting system of a distance sensor to project a three-dimensional pattern of light onto an object, wherein the three-dimensional pattern of light comprises a plurality of points of light that collectively forms the pattern, causing a light receiving system of the distance sensor to acquire an image of the three-dimensional pattern of light projected onto the object, causing the light receiving system to acquire a two-dimensional image of the object, detecting a feature point in the two-dimensional image of the object, identifying an interpolation area for the feature point, and computing three-dimensional coordinates for the feature point by interpolating using three-dimensional coordinates of two points of the plurality of points that are within the interpolation area.
