Abstract:
Impact time between an image sensing circuitry and an object relatively moving at least partially towards, or away from, the image sensing circuitry can be computed. Image data associated with a respective image frame of a sequence (1 . . . N) of image frames sensed by said image sensing circuitry and which image frames are imaging said object can be received. For each one (i) of multiple pixel positions, a respective duration value (f(i)) indicative of a largest duration of consecutively occurring local extreme points in said sequence (1 . . . N) of image frames can be computed. A local extreme point is present in a pixel position (i) when an image data value of the pixel position (i) is a maxima or minima in relation to image data values of those pixel positions that are closest neighbors to said pixel position (i).
