Abstract
A depth map may be generated in conjunction with generation of a digital image such as a light-field image. A light pattern source may be used to project a light pattern into a scene with one or more objects. A camera may be used to capture first light and second light reflected from the one or more objects. The first light may be a reflection of light originating from one or more other light sources independent of the light pattern source. The second light may be a reflection of the light pattern from the one or more objects. In a processor, at least the first light may be used to generate an image such as a light-field image. Further, in the processor, at least the second light may be used to generate a depth map indicative of distance between the one or more objects and the camera.
