Problems solved by technology

Due to the need to consider the randomness of speckle structured light, the VCSEL light source used needs to be arranged irregularly, so this light source often needs to be specially customized, which increases the cost and the difficulty of research and development

Abstract

The invention provides a structured light projection module. The projection module comprises a VCSEL array, an irregular pattern generator, a lens and a structured light pattern generator. The VCSEL array comprises vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) which are arranged on a semiconductor substrate in a manner of two-dimensional regular patterns and is used for emitting first light beams with the two-dimensional regular patterns. The irregular pattern generator is used for receiving the first light beams and emitting second light beams with irregular patterns. The lens is used for receiving and gathering the second light beams. The structured light pattern generator is used for receiving the second light beams gathered through the lens and outwards emitting multiple second light beams which are partially mutually overlapped. Compared with the prior art, the regularly arranged VCSEL arrays are used as light sources, irregular patterns are generated through the irregular pattern generator and random structured light speckle patterns are projected, so difficulty level and cost for customization of the VCSEL arrays are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of optics and electronics technology, in particular to a structured light projection module. Background technique [0002] The structured light depth camera can obtain the depth information of the target to realize 3D scanning, scene modeling, and gesture interaction. Compared with the currently widely used RGB camera, the depth camera is gradually being valued by all walks of life. For example, the combination of depth camera, TV and computer can realize somatosensory games to achieve the two-in-one effect of game and fitness. Microsoft's KINECT and Obi Zhongguang's ASTRA are representatives of them. In addition, Google's tango project is committed to bringing depth cameras to mobile devices, such as tablets and mobile phones, so as to bring a completely subversive experience. For example, it can realize a very real AR game experience, and can use it for indoor map creation and navigation. and other functions. [...
