Transparent parts: missing depth, or the background measured instead

Glass, clear plastic, film. Empty in the depth map, or the depth of whatever sits behind

Principle only · confirm with a sample Root cause: Transmission LUC-VISION™

Why it fails, and why we are not bound by it

Clear materials transmit most incident light. A projected pattern therefore lands on the object behind the part. The reported depth belongs to that object, not to the surface. Coherent detection gets its sensitivity from mixing with the local oscillator, not from return intensity. The weak Fresnel reflection at the surface is therefore still enough for ranging.

Measured evidence

The case below is translucent biological tissue. It does not replace a test on glass or clear plastic. Ship us a sample for evaluation.
