Claim One:
1. A method for computing a depth map having a higher resolution than a resolution of each sensor of a sensor set, the method comprising; vibrating a projector; projecting, while the projector is vibrating, a pattern of light comprising a plurality of dots into a scene, the pattern of light moving based on the vibrating; capturing a plurality of images at different times via the sensor set while the projector is vibrating, the sensor set comprising at least two synchronized sensors, wherein a frequency of the vibrating is relative to a frame rate of capturing the plurality of images and a density of the plurality of dots; processing at least some of the images to obtain computed depth data for sub-pixels based upon which sub-pixel locations were in a path corresponding to the moving pattern of light; estimating depth data for any sub-pixels for which computed depth data is not obtained; and outputting a depth map comprising the depth data for each sub-pixel.
