    摘要: An error in distance measurement is reduced. The distance measuring sensor generates multiple images by receiving light in light reception periods that are synchronized with pulse train pattern light, which repeats a light emission period and a non-light emission period of two types of luminance of a bright portion and a dark portion, and have different phases from each other. A bright region detecting unit detects a bright region which is a region generated by receiving reflected light corresponding to the bright portion of the pattern light in each of the multiple images. A first distance measuring unit detects a phase difference between the emitted pattern light and the reflected light on the basis of the bright regions detected in the multiple images and calculates a first distance measurement value that is a distance to the object on the basis of the detected phase difference. A bright region selecting unit selects among the bright regions, detected in the multiple images, on the basis of image signals constituting the images. A second distance measuring unit calculates a second distance measurement value that is a distance to the object by triangulation using a position of the selected bright region in the image. A fusion unit generates a fused distance measurement value by fusing the first distance measurement value and the second distance measurement value.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a system includes at least one projector configured to project a plurality of projected patterns, where a projected lighting characteristic of each of the projected patterns varies over a time period in accordance with an associated predetermined temporal lighting-characteristic pattern, a camera configured to capture images of detected patterns during the time period, and one or more processors configured to: determine, for each detected pattern, a detected temporal lighting-characteristic pattern based on variations in a detected lighting characteristic of the detected pattern, identify a detected pattern that corresponds to one of the projected patterns by comparing at least one of the detected temporal lighting-characteristic patterns to at least one of the temporal lighting-characteristic patterns, and compute a depth associated with the detected patterns based on the one or more of the projected patterns, the detected pattern, and a relative position between the camera and the projector.

    摘要: Described herein is a detector for determining a position of an object. The detector includes a sensor element having a matrix of optical sensors, wherein the sensor element is configured to determine a reflection image. The detector also includes an evaluation device configured to select a reflection feature of the reflection image at a first image position in the reflection image, determine a longitudinal coordinate z of the selected reflection feature by optimizing a blurring function fa, and determine a reference feature in a reference image at a second image position in the reference image corresponding to the reflection feature. The reference image and the reflection image are determined at two different spatial configurations, wherein the spatial configurations differ by a relative spatial constellation, wherein the evaluation device is configured to determine the relative spatial constellation from the longitudinal coordinate z and the first and the second image positions.

    摘要: A localization apparatus includes: a time-of-flight circuit configured to emit a first modulated light signal and to receive reflections of the first modulated light signal from at least three devices; a processing circuit configured to determine, based on the first modulated light signal and the reflections, positions of the at least three devices in a first coordinate system associated with the apparatus; and a receive circuit configured to receive second modulated signals from the at least three devices, the second modulated signals including data indicating positions of the at least three devices in a second coordinate system. The processing circuit is further configured to determine a position and orientation of the apparatus in the second coordinate system based on the positions of the at least three devices in the first coordinate system and the data indicating the positions of the at least three devices in the second coordinate system.
