摘要:
An image processor (140) obtains image data (Dimg) registered by a time-of-flight, TOF, imaging system (110). The image data (Dimg) represents a scene (100) illuminated by at least two light sources (121, 122, 123, 124) calibrated to enable the image processor (140) to include distance data in the image data (Dimg). The image processor (140) determines if a shadow effect exists by which at least one first object (TC) in the scene (100) obstructs light from at least one light source (121, 122, 123, 124) from reaching at least one part of at least one second object in the scene (100). The at least one first object (TC) has a known position and spatial extension relative to the TOF imaging system (110) and the at least two light sources (121, 122, 123, 124). If it is determined that the shadow effect exists, the image processor (140) adjusts the distance data to compensate for the at least one light source (121, 122, 123, 124) whose light did not reach the at least one part of the at least one second object by obtaining an adaptation amount (dΔ) from a lookup table (1450).

A distance measuring device (10) includes a controller (103) and a distance calculator (105). The controller (103) sets, in a first time period, a first measurement time range which corresponds to a first measurement distance range; causes a light emitter (101) to emit emission light and places a light receiver (102) into an exposure state, in the first measurement time range; sets, in a second time period, a second measurement time range which corresponds to a second measurement distance range; and causes the light emitter (101) to emit emission light and places the light receiver (102) into an exposure state, in the second measurement time range. Here, at least one measurement condition is different between the first time period and the second time period. The distance calculator (105) calculates the distance from the distance measuring device (10) to a measurement target (60), based on the time from when the light emitter (101) emits the emission light to when the light receiver (102) receives the reflected light. The time is in at least one of the first time period and the second time period.

A time-of-flight (TOF) sensor device is provided with features for correcting distance measurement offset errors caused by such factors as temperature, dynamic reflectivity ranges of objects in the viewing space, or other factors. In various embodiments, the TOF sensor device generates corrected distance values based on comparison of two different distance values measured for an object by two different measurement techniques, including but not limited to phase shift measurement, pulsed TOF measurement, distance measurement based on the focal length of the TOF sensor's lens, and comparison of distance variations with light intensity variations. In addition, some embodiments of the TOF sensor device perform self-calibration using internal waveguides or parasitic reflections as distance references.

A method (e.g., a method for measuring a separation distance to a target object) includes transmitting an electromagnetic first transmitted signal from a transmitting antenna toward a target object that is a separated from the transmitting antenna by a separation distance. The first transmitted signal includes a first transmit pattern representative of a first sequence of digital bits. The method also includes receiving a first echo of the first transmitted signal that is reflected off the target object, converting the first echo into a first digitized echo signal, and comparing a first receive pattern representative of a second sequence of digital bits to the first digitized echo signal to determine a time of flight of the first transmitted signal and the echo.

A calibration method and a calibration device based on single-wavelength double-laser-tube phase measurement are disclosed. The calibration method includes: (S1) generating an external light path via a laser automatic power control circuit through a high frequency modulation signal, sending the external light path to a measured target, reflecting the external light path back through the measured target and receiving the reflected external light path by a photoelectric receiving circuit; (S2) generating an internal light path via the laser automatic power control circuit through the high frequency modulation signal, directly sending the internal light path to the photoelectric receiving circuit, and receiving the internal light path through the photoelectric receiving circuit; and (S3) performing phase comparison between two paths of light waves respectively corresponding to the external light path and the internal light path which are received firstly and secondly by the photoelectric receiving circuit, and a reference phase signal through the photoelectric receiving circuit, calculating a distance phase, and outputting a signal whose base is eliminated. By means of the method, the phase error is compensated and calibrated, so that the effect of environmental factors on the distance measurement error is reduced, thereby improving the distance measurement precision of the laser ranging, and improving the distance measurement stability of the system.
