Abstract:
A projection pattern is projected onto an object from a projection point of a distance sensor. The projection pattern is created by a plurality of beams of light projected from the projection point. The plurality of beams creates a plurality of projection artifacts that is arranged on the surface of the object. A layout of the plurality of projection artifacts depends on a positional relationship between the projection point and an image capturing device of the distance sensor. At least one parameter that defines the positional relationship between the projection point and an image capturing device of the distance sensor is optimized, prior to projecting the pattern, to minimize overlap of trajectories associated with the projection artifacts. An image of the object, including at least a portion of the adjusted projection pattern, is captured. A distance from the distance sensor to the object is calculated using information from the image.

Claim (Index 6):
The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the at least one parameter comprises an angle between a center projection beam of the plurality of projection beams and an optical axis of the image capturing device.
