Abstract
An apparatus comprising an interface, a light projector and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive pixel data. The light projector may be configured to generate a structured light pattern. The processor may be configured to process the pixel data arranged as video frames comprising the structured light pattern, perform computer vision operations to detect a size of a face area of the video frames, determine a scale ratio in response to the size of the face area, extract the structured light pattern from the video frames, generate a downscaled structured light image and generate a depth map in response to the downscaled structured light image and a downscaled reference image. A downscale operation may be performed in response to the scale ratio to generate the downscaled structured light image. The scale ratio may enable the generation of the downscaled structured light image with sufficient depth pixels.
