Systems And Methods Of Generating Z-Buffers In Cameras
US Patent:
7983548, Jul 19, 2011
Filed:
Oct 28, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/261109
Inventors:
Richard Turley - Fort Collins CO, US
David Branson - Fort Collins CO, US
Andrew C. Goris - Loveland CO, US
David R. Lawson - Greeley CO, US

Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G03B 15/03
US Classification:
396109
Abstract:
Systems and methods for implementing Z-buffer generation in a camera are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment the method may comprise actuating a light sensor after various delays to receive a plurality of modulated light signals reflected from different regions of a scene adjacent a camera. The method may also include determining distance information for the different regions of the scene based on brightness values for the plurality of modulated light signals reflected from the scene for the various delays. The method may also include storing the distance information in a Z-buffer at the camera.

International Classification:
G02B 7/32
US Classification:
396111, 396125, 396106
Abstract:
Systems and methods for implementing Z-buffer generation in a camera are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment the method may comprise exposing a plurality of pixels on an image capture device to a modulated light signal reflected from different regions of a scene adjacent a camera after different delays. The method may also comprise correlating intensity of the modulated light signal received by the image capture device for each the different delays to determine a flight time of the modulated light signal. The method may also comprise generating a Z-buffer corresponding to the different regions of the scene based on the correlation.
