Abstract
A source-camera assembly with an isolated light path for a reference pixel is described. The assembly may include a projector, a camera assembly, a reference waveguide, and an overmold. The projector may include a source array configured to emit light and a lens assembly configured to direct the light into a local area. The camera assembly may include a sensor and a reference pixel. The sensor may be configured to detect the emitted light reflected from an object within the local area. The reference waveguide is configured to guide a portion of the light emitted by the projector from the source array to the reference pixel. The light detected by the sensor and the light detected by the reference pixel may be used to determine depth information for the object. The overmold is opaque to the emitted light and covers portions of the projector, the camera assembly, and the reference waveguide.
