Abstract: A method of recognizing a shape using a multizone time-of-flight (ToF) sensor includes receiving, by a processor, ToF data indicating an object located within a field of view of the multizone ToF sensor, the field of view being divided into zones. The ToF data includes signal information corresponding to each zone of the field of view of the multizone ToF sensor. The ToF data may include a two-dimensional array of zone data, each of the zone data including distance information and additional signal information. The method further includes recognizing, by the processor, the object as the shape using the signal information. Recognizing the shape may include filtering, by the processor, the ToF data through an artificial intelligence (AI) model to create AI output data and recognizing the shape using the AI output data.
