A system configured for utilizing a dot pattern to perform depth detection, the system comprising: one or more processors ; a camera system comprising at least one camera having a corresponding field of view; a light illuminator comprising a light source and a dot pattern generator that emits the dot pattern generated by the light source, the light illuminator being configured to project a dot pattern on one or more objects in a region within the field of view, the dot pattern comprising a replicated sub-pattern having a predefined height and width, the replicated sub-pattern comprising a plurality of dots arranged such that the replicated sub-pattern omits any two patches that include an identical arrangement of dots, the any two patches having a height that corresponds with the predefined height of the replicated sub-pattern; the replicated sub-pattern being replicated in at least one of a first direction or a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, and such that the dot pattern comprises a plurality of replicated sub-patterns that are adjacently positioned when projected by the light illuminator within the field of view; and one or more computer-readable media having stored computer-executable instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more processors, to cause the computer system to perform the following: project the dot pattern with the light illuminator ; obtain a first image of the dot pattern, which is reflected in the region from the projection of the dot pattern, with the camera system; and perform depth detection based on the dot pattern. one or more processors ; a camera system comprising at least one camera having a corresponding field of view; a light illuminator comprising a light source and a dot pattern generator that emits the dot pattern generated by the light source, the light illuminator being configured to project a dot pattern on one or more objects in a region within the field of view, the dot pattern comprising a replicated sub-pattern having a predefined height and width, the replicated sub-pattern comprising a plurality of dots arranged such that the replicated sub-pattern omits any two patches that include an identical arrangement of dots, the any two patches having a height that corresponds with the predefined height of the replicated sub-pattern; the replicated sub-pattern being replicated in at least one of a first direction or a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, and such that the dot pattern comprises a plurality of replicated sub-patterns that are adjacently positioned when projected by the light illuminator within the field of view; and one or more computer-readable media having stored computer-executable instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more processors, to cause the computer system to perform the following: project the dot pattern with the light illuminator ; obtain a first image of the dot pattern, which is reflected in the region from the projection of the dot pattern, with the camera system; and perform depth detection based on the dot pattern. project the dot pattern with the light illuminator ; obtain a first image of the dot pattern, which is reflected in the region from the projection of the dot pattern, with the camera system; and perform depth detection based on the dot pattern. <EOS>
