    Abstract: In accordance with disclosed embodiments, there are provided systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing maximum likelihood image binarization in a coded light range camera. For instance, a depth camera is described having therein a projector to project a collection of planes, each at a different angle of projection, onto a scene via a plurality of coded pattern images, each of the coded pattern images having encoded therein via a plurality of stripes, the angle of projection for the plane of projection within which the respective coded pattern image is projected; a detector to capture the plurality of coded pattern images from the scene; a processing component to output a bit value for each pixel in the captured plurality of coded pattern images based on the pixel captured and based further on a patch of neighboring pixels surrounding the pixel; a decoder to decode each of the plurality of coded pattern images based on the bit values output by the processing component to determine the angle of projection for the corresponding plane of projection; and a triangulator to determine a position of an object in the scene based on an intersection of the determined angle of projection for the corresponding plane of projection with a geometric ray originating from the detector that detected the plurality of the coded pattern images. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques and configurations for an optoelectronic three-dimensional object acquisition assembly configured to correct image distortions. In one instance, the assembly may comprise a first device configured to project a light pattern on an object at a determined angle; a second device configured to capture a first image of the object illuminated with the projected light pattern; a third device configured to capture a second image of the object; and a controller coupled to the first, second, and third devices and configured to reconstruct an image of the object from geometric parameters of the object obtained from the first image, and to correct distortions in the reconstructed image caused by a variation of the determined angle of the light pattern projection, based at least in part on the first and second images of the object. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    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.
