Abstract
Imaging systems and imaging methods are disclosed to estimate a three-dimensional position of an object at a scene and/or generate a three-dimensional image of the scene. The imaging system may include, for example, one or many light sources; an optical system configured to direct light from the one or more light sources into a pattern onto the scene; a mask; a detector array disposed to receive light from the scene through the mask; and at least one processor communicatively coupled with the detector and configured to estimate a depth of a particle within the scene.
