Abstract:
An imaging system may include an image sensor, a lens, and layers with reflective properties, such as an infrared cut-off filter, between the lens and the image sensor. The lens may focus light from an object in a scene onto the image sensor. Some of the light directed onto the image sensor may form a first image on the image sensor. Other portions of the light directed onto the image sensor may reflect off of the image sensor and back towards the layers with reflective properties. These layers may reflect the light back onto the image sensor, forming a second image that is shifted relative to the first image. Depth mapping circuitry may compare the first and second images to determine the distance between the imaging system and the object in the scene.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of operating an imaging system comprising an image sensor, a reflective layer, and a depth determination engine, the method comprising:\n with the image sensor, capturing image data for a scene, wherein the image data includes primary image data generated in response to light directly incident upon the image sensor and secondary image data generated in response to light that reflected off of the image sensor, off of the reflective layer, and back onto the image sensor; and with the depth determination engine, determining depth information for the scene by comparing the primary image data to the secondary image data.
