Abstract:
A depth sensing apparatus and an operation method thereof are provided. The depth sensing apparatus includes a projector, multiple cameras, and an image processing circuit. The projector includes a diffraction optical element (DoE) and a light source module. Rays of the light source module selectively pass through at least one of multiple projection style regions of the DoE so as to generate a projection pattern, and the projection pattern is projected to a field. The cameras respectively shoot the projection pattern projected to the field to obtain multiple images. The image processing circuit processes the images to obtain multiple depth maps. The image processing circuit at least merges the depth maps to generate a final depth map of the field.

Claim (Index 1):
A depth sensing apparatus, comprising:\n a projector, comprising a diffraction optical element and a light source module, wherein the diffraction optical element comprises a plurality of projection style regions disposed on a same plane, one of rays of the light source module selectively pass through one of the projection style regions to generate a projection pattern, and the projection pattern is projected to a field; a first camera, shooting the projection pattern projected to the field to obtain a first image; a second camera, shooting the projection pattern projected to the field to obtain a second image; and an image processing circuit, coupled to the projector, the first camera, and the second camera, wherein the image processing circuit processes the first image to obtain a first depth map, the image processing circuit processes the second image to obtain a second depth map, and the image processing circuit at least merges the first depth map and the second depth map to generate a final depth map of the field.
