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

Provided are a structured light projection module and a depth camera. The structured light projection module comprises: a light source array, comprising multiple sub-light sources arranged in the form of a two-dimensional pattern and used for transmitting array beams corresponding to the two-dimensional pattern; a lens for receiving and converging the array beams; and a diffractive optical element for receiving the array beams emitted after being converged by the lens and projecting structured light speckle pattern beams, wherein a structured light speckle pattern is formed through staggered superposition of at least two secondary structured light speckle patterns; each of the secondary structured light speckle patterns is formed by arranging multiple speckle blocks in a tiled manner; and each of the speckle blocks is composed of speckles, formed after at least several sub-light sources from among the multiple sub-light sources are diffracted by the diffractive optical element, of the same diffraction order. On the basis of ensuring the uniform distribution of structured light patterns, the solution improves the density distribution of structured light speckle patterns, and also has very high non-correlation.

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...
