An image-pickup apparatus for capturing an object includes a distance calculating unit for measuring a phase difference (time difference) from the emission of light from a light emitting unit to the reception of reflected light by a light receiving unit for each unit composed of a predetermined number of adjacent pixels of the object to calculate a distance from the image-pickup apparatus to each corresponding pixel unit of the object, and an image processing unit for corresponding the distance calculated in units of the predetermined number of pixels to the image captured by the light receiving unit. The image processing unit supplies a display unit with only pixels corresponding to a predetermined range in the image generated by the distance calculating unit to display the pixels in units of the predetermined number of pixels on the display unit.

According to the invention, high precision distance measurement may be carried out by the broadcast of pulsed electromagnetic radiation (ES) with at least two pulse repetition frequencies, whereby the pulse repetition frequencies are selected such that the corresponding pulse separations do not have a common multiple in the range of the order of magnitude of a maximum external measurement range. The radiation is hence transmitted both to a target for measurement over the measurement path outside the device and also over a reference path inside the device, whereby the radiation (IS) passing along the reference path defines at least one start pulse and the radiation (ES) passing along the measurement path defines at least one stop pulse.

The method serves for canceling errors caused by mismatch of different signal paths in a photodetector with a plurality (k) of storage elements for the photogenerated signals, as typically used in phase-measurement systems. The signal-capturing process is performed in at least two measurement cycles (j) . A first cycle (j=1) is executed with the conventional setup with no phase delay in the control signals. It is followed by further measurement cycles (j=2, 3, 4) which use control signals shifted by a constant phase shift (90°). Corresponding signals are read out through different signal paths. At the end, the signals corresponding to a certain phase (Φ) are added, thus canceling possible offset values.

A phase measurement method is disclosed, which includes inputting a predetermined voltage to the photodiode; receiving an optical signal and transforming into an electrical signal; generating a sampled signal with a signal transforming process; determining whether the amplitude value of the sampled signal in a predetermined range or not; if the amplitude of the sampled signal is not in the predetermined amplitude range, adjusting the predetermined voltage and receiving the optical signal and judging again until the amplitude value falls into the predetermined amplitude range; if the amplitude of the sampled signal is in the predetermined amplitude range, calculating the first phase value; and judging whether the predetermined voltage adjusted or not. If the predetermined voltage has been adjusted, calculating the compensating phase value and the second phase value in accordance with the adjusted predetermined voltage.

摘要:
Rapid calibration of a TOF system uses a stationary target object and electrically introduces phase shift into the TOF system to emulate target object relocation. Relatively few parameters suffice to model a parameterized mathematical representation of the transfer function between measured phase and Z distance. The phase-vs-distance model is directly evaluated during actual run-time operation of the TOF system. Preferably modeling includes two components: electrical modeling of phase-vs-distance characteristics that depend upon electrical rather than geometric characteristics of the sensing system, and elliptical modeling that phase-vs-distance characteristics that depending upon geometric rather than electrical characteristics of the sensing system.
