    摘要: A method includes acquiring range data and intensity data of a first image frame captured at a high illumination, the first image frame including an image of a high-reflectivity object and a low-reflectivity object, the image of the high-reflectivity object being saturated; acquiring range data intensity data of a second image frame captured at a reduced illumination, the second image frame including an image of the high-reflectivity object, with the low-reflectivity object being invisible; and identifying a saturation region on the first image frame. The method further includes performing a cross-correlation operation between the identified saturation region and a corresponding region on the second image frame to identify a region in the saturation region, the identified region corresponding to an expected size of the high-reflectivity object on the first image frame; and replacing the identified region in the saturation region with a corresponding region in the second image frame.

    摘要: The invention provides a time-of-flight ranging system and a time-of-flight ranging method. The time-of-flight ranging system includes a time-of-flight ranging sensor, a decoder, a computing processor, and a fusion processor. The time-of-flight ranging sensor receives a first reflected light and a second reflected light reflected by a sensing target, and generates first raw data and second raw data according to the first reflected light. The decoder generates a first input according to the first raw data and generates a second input according to the second raw data. The computing processor generates a first output and a second output according to the first input and the second input. The fusion processor performs a weighted average operation according to a first amplitude, a second amplitude, the first output, and the second output to generate depth information.

    摘要: A purpose of the present invention is to provide an optical comb generation device capable of obtaining an absolute distance result with high accuracy by reducing a phase offset by a signal transmission path of an object other than an object to be measured, for example in an optical comb distance meter for measuring a distance from a time difference between an interference signal of a measuring light and an interference signal of a reference light. A drive control unit controls to output M (M is an integer of two or more) types of optical combs with mutually different modulation frequencies in which N (N is an integer of three or more) types of modulation frequencies are switched cyclically, by respectively modulating a phase or an intensity periodically, from M optical comb generators, by supplying driving signals to the M optical comb generators comprised in an optical comb generation unit.
