Embodiment Construction

[0032] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. It should be emphasized that the following description is only exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the invention and its application.

[0033] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a structured light depth camera according to an embodiment of the present invention. The depth camera includes a structured light projection module 10 and an acquisition module 20. The structured light projection module 10 is used to project a structured light beam into space. When the structured light beam irradiates on the plane 60, structured light will be generated on the area 30 pattern 50, the collection module 20 is used to collect structured light images on objects in its collection area 40, and generally the projection area 30 is not smaller than the collection area 40, so as to ensure that the objects in the collection area corresponding to the collection module can be structured covered by the li...

Abstract

The invention provides a structured light projection module and a depth camera. The structured light projection module comprises a light source array, a lens, and a diffraction optical element, the light source array includes a first sub-light source array and a second sub-light source array that can be independently controlled, the first / second sub-light source array comprises a plurality of sub-sources arranged in a first / second two-dimensional pattern for emitting a first / second array beam corresponding to the first / second two-dimensional pattern, the lens is used for receiving and converging the first and / or second sub-array light beam(s); the diffraction optical element is used for receiving the first and / or second sub-array light beam(s) which are / is emitted after being converged bythe lens and projecting the first and / or second structured light spot patterned light beam(s) corresponding to the first and / or second sub-array light beam(s), and the sub-structured light spot pattern is formed by spreading and arranging a plurality of sub-spot patterns generated by the plurality of sub-light sources. According to the invention, the non-correlation degree and the density of the structured light pattern are uniformly distributed, the structure light spot pattern with different projection areas and different densities can be generated, and the application is wider.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a structured light projection module and a depth camera. Background technique [0002] 3D imaging technology is the core of the new generation of human-computer interaction technology. With the rigid demand of mobile terminal equipment for 3D imaging technology, depth cameras will be widely used in mobile terminal equipment, which also makes depth cameras move towards low power consumption. , high performance, and small volume. [0003] The structured light projection module is the core device in the depth camera based on structured light technology. It mainly uses the light source to emit light beams and modulates the optical elements to emit structured light patterns. The size, energy consumption and Performance determines the size, power consumption and performance of the depth camera. Structured light spot (speckle) pattern is currently a widely used and mature projection scheme. Its principle is mainly to use laser light...
