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 21):
A non-transient computer-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform a method, comprising:\n assessing a distance between one or more users and a camera located on a device, the device comprising a computer processor and a memory, wherein the distance is assessed using at least one sensor located on the device and coupled to the computer processor; determining if the assessed distance is less than a threshold distance or greater than the threshold distance; illuminating at least one user with speckle pattern illumination from an illuminator located on the device, wherein:\n if the assessed distance is less than the threshold distance, the speckle pattern illumination has a first dot density; and \n if the assessed distance is greater than the threshold distance, the speckle pattern illumination has a second dot density, the second dot density being greater than the first dot density.
