Description
Techniques of structured-light illumination (SLI) and multi-camera stereo-vision (StY) have played a major
role in computer vision applications. Today, a new generation of time-of-flight (TOF) imaging sensors are
available that can construct 3-D models of a scene in real-time based upon the round-trip travel time of an
infrared light pulse without the hindrance of triangulation that plagues both SLI and StY. But this new
generation of sensors is not without its drawbacks being highly susceptible to distortion caused by the
presence of extraneous ambient light. As such, this proposal intends to study the performance envelopes of
the three range sensing technologies of SLI, StY, and TOF, and based upon those results, create a hybrid
camera that fuses the three techniques. This system will be such that it can rely on StY in bright ambient
light environments where StY is optimal and TOF and SLI in low-light environments.
