Abstract
Systems and methods for generating composite depth images are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: capture, by a depth sensor, a set of depth images over a capture period of time; generate, by an inertial sensor, inertial signals that convey values of one or more inertial parameters characterizing motion of the depth sensor during the capture period of time; select a target capture position based on one or more of the capture positions of the set of depth images; generate, using the values of the one or more inertial parameters during the capture period of time, re-projected depth images; and generate a composite depth image by combining multiple depth images, such multiple depth images including a first re-projected depth image and a second re-projected depth image.
