Abstract
Disclosed herein is a display device including an illumination source for projecting an illumination pattern including a plurality of illumination features on a scene; an optical sensor for determining a first image including a plurality of reflection features; a translucent display, where the illumination source and the optical sensor are placed in a direction of propagation of the illumination pattern in front of the display; and an evaluation device configured for evaluating the first image by identifying and sorting the reflection features with respect to brightness, each reflection feature including a beam profile, determining a longitudinal coordinate for each reflection feature by analyzing their beam profiles, unambiguously matching reflection features with corresponding illumination features using the longitudinal coordinate classifying a reflection feature as a real feature or a false feature, rejecting the false features, and generating a depth map for the real features using the longitudinal coordinate.
