Abstract: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to passive depth determination. Initially, a high power depth map of a scene can be created. An object in the scene can be identified, such as a rigid body or other object or portion of an object. A series of lower power or RGB images can be captured. The object can be located in one or more of the lower power or RGB images. A change in the position of an object, represented by a set of pixels, can be determined. From the change in position of the object, a new depth of the object can be extrapolated. The extrapolated depth of the object can be used to update the high power depth map.

Abstract: A sensor system that obtains and processes time-of-flight data (TOF) obtained in an arbitrary orientation is provided. A TOF sensor obtains distance data describing various surfaces. A processor identifies a horizontal Z-plane in the environment, and transforms the data to align with the Z-plane. In some embodiments, the environment includes a box, and the processor identifies a bottom and a top of the box in the transformed data. The processor can further determine dimensions of the box, e.g., the height between the top and bottom of the box, and the length and width of the box top.

Abstract: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to methods and imaging systems. The imaging systems can be configured to sense, by an light sensor of the imaging system, light received during a time period, process the light received by the light sensor, identify an available measurement period for the imaging system within the time period based on the processed light, and transmit and receive light during a corresponding measurement period in one or more subsequent time periods.

Abstract: An image processing system having on-the-fly calibration uses the placement of the imaging sensor and the light source for calibration. The placement of the imaging sensor and light source with respect to each other affect the amount of signal received by a pixel as a function of distance to a selected object. For example, an obstruction can block the light emitter, and as the obstruction is positioned an increasing distance away from the light emitter, the signal level increases as light rays leave the light emitters, bounce off the obstruction and are received by the imaging sensor. The system includes a light source configured to emit light, and an image sensor to collect incoming signals including reflected light, and a processor to determine a distance measurement at each of the pixels and calibrate the system.

Abstract: Depth imagers can implement time-of-flight operations to measure depth or distance of objects. A depth imager can emit light onto a scene and sense light reflected back from the objects in the scene using an array of sensors. Timing of the reflected light hitting the array of sensors gives information about the depth or distance of objects in the scene. In some cases, corrupting light that is outside of a field of view of a pixel in the array of sensors can hit the pixel due to internal scattering or internal reflections occurring in the depth imager. The corrupting light can corrupt the depth or distance measurement. To address this problem, an improved depth imager can isolate and measure the corrupting light due to internal scattering or internal reflections occurring in the depth imager, and systematically remove the measured corrupting light from the depth or distance measurement.
