how is the depth measuring optimized?

[HStei3]

Hey Guys i have a question.

Currently i am dealing with depth cameras.

i want to use lasertriangulation especially with structured light, like some of the realsense kameras.

i try to figure out an algorithm to not triangulate every dot, (would be possible of course) but to have a more efficent code, like using lines of pixels instead of pixelpoints. somebody got an idea how this is passed by the Intel RealSense?

Would be awesome to get a hint!

greetings

If you are planning on using the current generation of 400 Series stereo cameras for triangulation, section 3 of the document below offers an equation for doing so using the camera's focal length and baseline.
