Abstract

An optical sensor device includes an optical sensor; an optical filter; a phase mask configured to distribute a plurality of light beams associated with a subject in an encoded pattern; a movement component configured to move the phase mask; and one or more processors configured to: obtain, from the optical sensor, a first set of sensor data that indicates information related to first light that originates at the subject and passes through the phase mask when the phase mask is located at a first position; obtain, from the optical sensor, a second set of sensor data that indicates information related to second light that originates at the subject and passes through the phase mask when the phase mask is located at a second position; determine and provide, based on the first set of sensor data and the second set of sensor data, information associated with the subject.
