Abstract: Using the same image sensor to capture both a two-dimensional (2D) image of a three-dimensional (3D) object and 3D depth measurements for the object. A laser point-scans the surface of the object with light spots, which are detected by a pixel array in the image sensor to generate the 3D depth profile of the object using triangulation. Each row of pixels in the pixel array forms an epipolar line of the corresponding laser scan line. Timestamping provides a correspondence between the pixel location of a captured light spot and the respective scan angle of the laser to remove any ambiguity in triangulation. An Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) in the image sensor generates a multi-bit output in the 2D mode and a binary output in the 3D mode to generate timestamps. Strong ambient light is rejected by switching the image sensor to a 3D logarithmic mode from a 3D linear mode.

Abstract: A system for calculating. A scratch memory is connected to a plurality of configurable processing elements by a communication fabric including a plurality of configurable nodes. The scratch memory sends out a plurality of streams of data words. Each data word is either a configuration word used to set the configuration of a node or of a processing element, or a data word carrying an operand or a result of a calculation. Each processing element performs operations according to its current configuration and returns the results to the communication fabric, which conveys them back to the scratch memory.

Abstract: A pixel for an image sensor includes a resistive microbolometer sensor portion, a visible image sensor portion, and an output path. The resistive microbolometer sensor portion outputs a signal corresponding to an infrared (IR) image sensed by the resistive microbolometer sensor portion. The resistive microbolometer sensor portion uses no bias current. The visible image sensor portion outputs a signal corresponding to a visible image sensed by the visible image sensor portion. The output path is shared by the resistive microbolometer sensor portion and the visible image sensor portion, and may be controlled to selectively output the signal corresponding to the IR image, the signal corresponding to the visible image, or a fused image based on the IR image and the visible image. The resistive microbolometer sensor portion may sense a near infrared image or a longwave infrared image.

Abstract: A method is disclosed to determine a traveling time for a plurality of received light pulses that reflected and returned from an object. Each returned light pulse is associated with a timestamp indicating a time between a transmission time of a corresponding light pulse and a time of arrival of the returned light pulse. For each timestamp, a number C is determined of time stamps that are subsequent to the timestamp and within a predetermined time window after the timestamp. A maximum number C is determined, and an index i is determined for the maximum number C. A traveling time is determined for the plurality of light pulses as an average of the timestamp having a same index as the maximum number C and timestamps that are within the predetermined time window after the timestamp having the same index as the maximum number C.

Each sub-row extends in the first direction and each sub-column extends in a second direction that is substantially orthogonal to the first direction. Each portion may be a first-type portion or a second-type portion. A size of a first-type portion is larger in the first direction and in the second direction than a size of a second-type portion in the first direction and in the second direction. In one embodiment, a first-type portion is a black portion and the second-type portion is a white portion.
