Abstract:
An estimate of distance between a user and a camera on a device is used to determine an illumination pattern density used for speckle pattern illumination of the user in subsequent images. The distance may be estimated using an image captured when the user is illuminated with flood infrared illumination. Either a sparse speckle (dot) pattern illumination pattern or a dense speckle pattern illumination pattern is used depending on the distance between the user's face and the camera.

Claim (Index 27):
The method of  claim 26 , wherein assessing the distance between the at least one user and the camera from the at least one flood image comprises:\n encoding, using an encoder module located on the device, the at least one flood image to generate feature vectors defining features of subjects in the flood image in a feature space, the feature space comprising a plurality of regions, wherein each feature vector defines features for one region in the feature space; decoding, using a decoder module located on the device, the generated feature vectors for each region in the feature space to assess a distance from the camera of the at least one user in the region; and providing an output from the decoder module of the assessed distance from the camera of the at least one user in the region.
