Patent ID: 8717405

Claim:
In a 3-dimensional depth mapping device, a method for generating overall image data of objects at multiple depths, the method comprising: obtaining first depth information relative to at least two different focal points of an overall image, which results in at least two different image data views, at a first depth position, to be stitched; creating first stitched image data by stitching the at least two different image data views at the first depth position, which corresponds to one or more objects within an overall image at the first depth; obtaining second depth information relative to the at least two different focal points of the overall image, which results in at least two different image data views, at a second depth position, to be stitched; creating second stitched image data by stitching the at least two different image data views at the second depth position, which corresponds to one or more objects within an overall image at the second depth; and generating synthesized image data of the one or more objects at multiple depths by combining the first stitched image data with the second stitched image data.
