Abstract

A depth camera assembly (DCA) is described. The DCA includes a projector, a sensor, and a controller. The projector is configured to dynamically illuminate one or more regions of a local area. The sensor is configured to detect light from the illuminated one or more regions using one or more subsets of a plurality of light sensors. The controller is configured to instruct the projector to illuminate a first region of the local area, and determine a first subset of the one or more subsets. The controller is configured to instruct the sensor to use the first subset to detect light, and the first subset captures light from a first portion of the first region of the local area. The controller is configured to determine depth information for the first region based in part on the detected light from the first portion of the first region.
