Abstract: A sensor system that obtains and processes time-of-flight data (TOF) is provided. A TOF sensor obtains raw data describing various surfaces. A processor applies an averaging filter to the raw data to smooth the raw data for increasing signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of flat surfaces represented in the raw data, performs a depth compute process on the raw data, as filtered, to generate distance data, generates a point cloud based on the distance data, and identifies the Z-planes in the point cloud.

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.

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: Systems and apparatus for phase calibration in time-of-flight cameras. In particular, systems and methods are presented for a miniaturized cover design that at least partially encloses the time-of-flight (ToF) module. The geometry of the miniaturized design causes the signals reflected from the calibration device back to the ToF imager to have essentially the same time-of-flight. The design of the calibration device prevents the modulated emissions from leaking out to the environment.

Abstract: System and apparatus for pulse oximetry. Systems, methods, and devices are presented for placement of the hardware on a body part where detracting signals are strong. In one example, detracting signals include signals from respiration. In various examples, the body part the oximeter is placed on is a wrist, chest, or arm. A computationally efficient pipeline is presented that allows for reliable and robust SpO2 estimation.

Abstract: Time of Flight (ToF) depth image processing methods are disclosed for resolving corruption of ToF depth images. In ToF depth imaging, the light can travel paths of different lengths before returning to the pixel. Thus, the light hitting the pixel can have travelled different distances, and the distance obtained from an estimation procedure assuming a single distance may be spurious. Systems and methods are disclosed for including a time-of-flight imager and processor which resolves the multiple paths, and outputs the multiple depths at each pixel.
