1. A method for extending depth map range, comprising: projecting a light pattern into a first environment using a first light intensity level; capturing a first image of the first environment over a first sensor integration time, the first image is associated with the first light intensity level; determining a degree of pixel saturation associated with the first image; setting a second light intensity level different from the first light intensity level based on the degree of pixel saturation; projecting the light pattern into the first environment using the second light intensity level; capturing a second image of the first environment, the second image is associated with the second light intensity level; and synthesizing the first image and the second image into a combined image.
