Problems solved by technology

Since the stereo vision depth camera does not need to emit infrared light, the power consumption is lower than that of the structured light depth camera. However, when a large flat scene appears in the field of view, the number of edge pixels obtained based on the color image is insufficient, resulting in the inability to effectively distinguish The distance between the scene and the depth camera

Abstract

A control method of a depth camera includes controlling first and second image sensors to detect light in a first wavelength range, generating a first depth map based on first and second images, subjecting one of the first and second images to edge-detection processing, controlling a light source to emit light in a second wavelength range when a number of edge pixels is determined to be smaller than a preset pixel number, controlling the second image sensor to detect light in the second wavelength range, generating a second depth map based on a third image, subjecting the first and the second depth maps to image fusion processing, and registering a fused depth map with one of the first and second images to generate 3D point cloud data.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a control method of a depth camera, in particular to a control method of a depth camera capable of generating three-dimensional point cloud data. Background technique [0002] An existing depth camera is a structured light depth camera, which uses an infrared light source to emit infrared light with a specific pattern, and uses an infrared light sensor to sense the infrared light reflected from the field of view back to the camera to generate an infrared light image, and a depth map can be obtained by analyzing the infrared image. The advantage of the structured light depth camera is the high accuracy of the depth map. However, when the object in the field of view of the structured light depth camera is far away, the operating power of the infrared light source needs to be increased so that the emitted infrared light can be reflected from the field of view. Back to the structured light depth camera, so it has the disadvantage ...
