Description

TOF depth camera based on dot matrix light projection
Technical Field
The present invention relates to depth cameras, and in particular to a TOF depth camera based on dot matrix light projection.
Background
A Time of flight (TOF) depth camera acquires a depth image of a measured space by emitting a floodlight beam with a specific waveband, receiving a reflected light beam of an object in the measured space by using a sensor and measuring the flight Time of the light beam in the space to calculate the distance. The TOF depth camera can obtain a gray image and a depth image at the same time, and is widely applied to the technical fields of 3D depth vision-related gesture recognition, face recognition, 3D modeling, motion sensing games, machine vision, auxiliary focusing, security protection, automatic driving and the like.
Conventional TOF depth cameras assume that the received light beam is reflected only once in the target scene, while in the actual scene there is always a specular or diffuse surface of reflective material that reflects incident light in all directions, so that the TOF sensor receives a superposition of possibly once reflected light beams and multiple reflected light beams, which interferes with the accuracy of the TOF depth camera in measuring distance, an effect known as multipath interference.
A conventional TOF depth camera generally includes a light projector and a light receiving sensor, the light projector emits a flood light beam to a space to provide illumination, the light receiving sensor receives the reflected flood light beam for imaging, and the depth calculating device calculates a flight time according to a phase delay of the emitted light and the received light, so as to obtain distance information. There are some limitations to measuring depth in this way, for example, interference of ambient light may affect the accuracy of measurement, especially when the intensity of ambient light is higher than that of directly reflected light, so that the signal received by the light receiving sensor is mainly ambient light, and a typical scene is a mirror image.
Mirror multipath is a problem often encountered in a sweeping robot scene, the ground is a high-reflectivity tile, and signals received by corresponding pixels on the ground are the superposition of direct reflection (main path) and optical signals reflected for multiple times (secondary path) by an object. For high reflectivity objects, the intensity of the primary path is much lower than the intensity of the secondary path, resulting in measured ground depth deviating from the actual depth.
