Claim 6:
7. An image acquisition system comprising:
one or more image acquisition subsystems, each of the one or more image acquisition subsystems comprising:
one or more laser projectors, each laser projector operable to emit a laser dot pattern onto a scene, the scene including one or more objects therein;
a first and second image capture device, each device operable to capture one or more images from the scene having the laser dot pattern projected thereupon;
circuitry components operable to determine from the one or more images depth information for each object of the one or more objects in the scene, the depth information including a distance to the object relative to a position of the one or more laser projectors; and
a master control unit in operable communication with each of the one or more image acquisition devices, the master control unit operable to transmit a feedback signal to the circuitry components of each of the one more image acquisition devices to modulate the optical power supplied to the one or more laser projectors,
wherein the circuitry components are further in communication with each of the one or more laser projectors, and wherein the circuitry components modulate optical power supplied to the one or more laser projectors to adjust an optical power level of the laser projectors based on the distance to the object relative to a position of the one or more laser projectors, and
wherein each of the one or more acquisition devices is further configured to acquire three-dimensional images of the scene and transmit the corresponding three-dimensional images to the master control unit, and wherein the master control unit generates a collective three-dimensional map therefrom, wherein instructions included in the corresponding feedback signal transmitted by the master control unit to each of the one or more acquisition devices are based on an analysis of a quality of the collective three-dimensional map.
