    Figure 1: (a) This active extended depth of field demonstration works by simultaneously refocusing the camera and the structured light projector at multiple planes for 3D reconstruction. (b) The image on the top shows a merged image, completely in focus, while the image on the bottom shows one image, partially in focus.
