Abstract: Example range estimation apparatus disclosed herein include a first signal processor to estimate a signal power parameter and a noise power parameter of a LIDAR system based on first data to be output from a light capturing device of the LIDAR system. Disclosed example range estimation apparatus also include a second signal processor to generate templates corresponding to different possible propagation delays associated with second data to be output from the light capturing device, the second data associated with a modulated light beam projected by the LIDAR system, the templates generated based on the signal power parameter and the noise power parameter, and the second data to have a higher sampling rate and a lower quantization resolution than the first data. In some examples, the second signal processor is also to determine, based on the templates, an estimated propagation delay associated with the second data.

Abstract: Example range estimation apparatus disclosed herein include a first signal processor to process first data output from a light capturing device of a LIDAR system to estimate signal and noise power parameters of the LIDAR system. Disclosed example range estimation apparatus also include a second signal processor to generate templates corresponding to different possible propagation delays associated with second data output from the light capturing device while a modulated light beam is projected by the LIDAR system, the templates generated based on the signal and noise power parameters, and the second data having a higher sampling rate and a lower quantization resolution than the first data. In some examples, the second signal processor also cross-correlates the templates with the second data to determine an estimated propagation delay associated with the second data, the estimated propagation delay convertible to an estimated range to an object that reflected the modulated light beam.

Abstract: A mechanism is described for facilitating depth image dequantization at computing devices according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes detecting a digital image of an object, the digital image including pixels having associated pixel values contaminated by noise, and side information pertaining to confidence of a value acquired in each pixel. The method may further include measuring characteristics of noise in each pixel of the digital image, and a plurality of weights relating to one or more of the pixel values, the side information, and the noise characteristics. The method may further include computing a smart filter based on a combination of the plurality of weights, applying the smart filter to filter the digital image by reducing the noise in the digital image, and outputting the filtered digital image.
