Abstract

The invention discloses a laser projector and a depth camera thereof. The laser projector comprises a foundation, at least two light emitting elements, a controller, at least two lenses and a diffraction optical element, wherein the at least two light emitting elements are fixed at one side of the foundation facing towards the diffraction optical element and emit laser under the control of the controller, the diffraction optical element is arranged at a position spaced from the foundation a first distance and is used for emitting laser patterns after laser beam expansion, and the at least two lenses are arranged between the foundation and the diffraction optical element and / or at one side of the diffraction optical element opposite to the foundation, are used for carrying out focusing and / or collimation of the laser and are set to have at least two types of different focal lengths and / or at least two different second distances spaced from the at least two light emitting elements. The laser projector is advantaged in that laser pattern irrelevance is improved on the condition that output power and volume requirements can be satisfied, and thereby a depth image acquisition speed and acquisition precision of the depth camera are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optics, in particular to a laser projector and a depth camera thereof. Background technique [0002] Laser projectors are used to emit set optical patterns to the target space, and are widely used in the field of optical-based three-dimensional measurement. A laser projector generally consists of a light source, a collimating mirror, and a diffractive optical element. The light source can be a single edge-emitting laser light source or an area array laser light source composed of multiple vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers. [0003] A laser projector based on a single edge-emitting laser source can emit a laser pattern with high irrelevance, but its volume will increase significantly with the increase of output power, and the uniformity of the laser pattern is poor; A laser projector with at least two vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser sources can emit a laser pattern with the same power and higher unifor...
