Abstract:
A signal generation apparatus for use with a ToF camera system includes a first pulse generator configured to generate a pulse to be supplied to a light source that irradiates light to a distance measurement target, a second pulse generator configured to generate a pulse to be supplied to pixels that receive light reflected by the distance measurement target, and a switching section configured to switch a setting of a modulation frequency of the first pulse generator and the second pulse generator within a predetermined period.
