Abstract
A structured light projection module, a depth camera, and a method for manufacturing the structured light projection module are provided. The module comprises: a light source, comprising a plurality of sub-light sources that are arranged in a two-dimensional array and configured to emit two-dimensional patterned beams corresponding to the two-dimensional array, and the two-dimensional patterned beams comprising two-dimensional patterns; a lens, receiving and converging the two-dimensional patterned beams; and a diffractive optical element, receiving the two-dimensional patterned beams converged and emitted from the lens, and projecting speckle patterned beams corresponding to speckle patterns. The speckle patterns comprise a plurality of image patterns corresponding to the two-dimensional patterns. Relationships between adjacent image patterns of the plurality of image patterns comprise at least two of an overlapping relationship, an adjoining relationship, and a spacing relationship. The structured light projection module can project speckle patterns having a high degree of irrelevance.
