The IR projector is an IR laser that passes through a diffraction grating and turns into a set of IR patterned dots. Figure 3 shows the IR dots seen by the IR camera. Figure 4 shows the depth map produced by the Kinect sensor for the IR image in Figure 3. The closer the IR dot is to the camera in space the darker the pixel. These depth values are represented in gray values. The black pixels indicate that no depth values are available for those pixels. This might happen if the points are too far (and the depth values cannot be computed accurately), are too close (there is a blind area due to limited fields of view for the projector and the camera), are in the cast shadow of the projector (there are no IR dots), or reflect poor IR lights (such as hairs or specular surfaces). The depth values produced by the Kinect sensor are sometimes inaccurate because the calibration between the IR projector and the IR camera becomes invalid but it is always shifted in order to align the pattern and the image. This could be caused by heat or vibration during transportation or a drift in the IR laser. \\  Furthermoe, Furthermore,  it has been observed by \citet{smisek20133d}, in his study, that the Kinect still exhibited small but relatively complex residual errors in close range measurements and that his study opens a new area of applications for Kinect.
