    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for operating a time-of-flight (TOF) sensor. The TOF may be operated in a low power mode by repeatedly performing a low power mode sequence, which may include performing a depth frame by emitting light pulses, detecting reflected light pulses, and computing a depth map based on the detected reflected light pulses. Performing the low power mode sequence may also include performing an amplitude frame at least one time by emitting a light pulse, detecting a reflected light pulse, and computing an amplitude map based on the detected reflected light pulse. In response to determining that an activation condition is satisfied, the TOF may be switched to operate in a high accuracy mode by repeatedly performing a high accuracy mode sequence, which may include performing the depth frame multiple times .

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for computing depth maps. One method includes capturing, using a camera, a camera image of a runtime scene. The method may also include analyzing the camera image of the runtime scene to determine a plurality of target sampling points at which to capture depth of the runtime scene. The method may further include adjusting a setting associated with a low-density depth sensor based on the plurality of target sampling points. The method may further include capturing, using the low-density depth sensor, a low-density depth map of the runtime scene at the plurality of target sampling points. The method may further include generating a computed depth map of the runtime scene based on the camera image of the runtime scene and the low-density depth map of the runtime scene.
