Abstract: The present technology relates to a signal processing apparatus, a signal processing method, and a program that enable highly accurate distance measurement over a wide range. A signal processing apparatus calculates a distance to a subject on the basis of the amount of electric charge acquired from a light receiving unit that accumulates, as the amount of electric charge, the amount of reflected light received, the reflected light being modulated light reflected off the subject at the time of measuring the distance by use of the modulated light at a predetermined frequency, the modulated light being emitted from a light emitting unit, and on the basis of the predetermined frequency, and generates a distance image, sets a target area targeted for exposure control for measuring a distance by use of modulated light at a second frequency, on the basis of a first distance image generated at the time of measuring a distance by use of modulated light at a first frequency, and calculates the second frequency on the basis of the target area. The present technology can be applied to a distance measuring apparatus that measures distances by use of a sensor.

Abstract: The distance measurement time is shortened. A distance measuring device includes a light source unit, a light reception signal generation unit, a time-of-flight detection unit, and a distance detection unit. The light source unit continuously emits reference emission light emitted in synchronization with a reference clock signal and delayed emission light emitted in synchronization with a delayed clock signal having a delay phase at a same cycle as the reference clock signal in a predetermined emission cycle for every predetermined measurement cycle. The light reception signal generation unit includes a light receiving unit that receives reflected light emitted from the light source unit and reflected by an object, detects reflected light based on the reference emission light and reflected light based on the delayed emission light in synchronization with the reference clock signal, and generates a reference light reception signal and a delayed light reception signal. The time-of-flight detection unit detects time-of-flight data including a reference time of flight based on the generated reference light reception signal and a delayed time of flight based on the generated delayed light reception signal for every measurement cycle. The distance detection unit detects a distance to the object based on the detected time-of-flight data.

Abstract: Provided is a sensing system that includes a light emitting section, a predetermined number of pixels, a solid-state imaging element, and a counting section. In the solid-state imaging element, the light emitting section emits irradiation light in synchronization with a light emission control signal having a higher frequency than a vertical synchronization signal. Each of the predetermined number of pixels generates a pulse signal by photoelectric conversion and the counting section counts a number of pulse signals in synchronization with each of the light emission control signal and the vertical synchronization signal.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for vehicle driving assistance systems that support image processing. In a first aspect, a computing device may receive a predicted depth map and a measured depth map and may determine a time difference between the predicted depth map and the measured depth map. A supervision loss term may be determined based on the time difference, such as by weighting the supervision loss term based on the time difference. The computing device may train a model based on the supervision loss term, such as a model that generated the predicted depth map. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally pertains to a time-of-flight imaging apparatus having circuitry configured to: demodulate, in a normal operation mode for determining a distance to a scene, at a predetermined number of phase locations a modulated light sensing signal representing modulated light reflected from the scene, thereby generating imaging frames for determining the distance to the scene, and apply, during the normal operation mode, a phase sweep by shifting the predetermined number of phase locations, thereby generating phase sweep frames for determining a cyclic error.

Abstract: An indirect time of flight range calculation apparatus comprises a light source, a photonic mixer that generates a plurality of output signals corresponding to a first plurality of phase values. A signal processor is also provided to calculate a first vector and a first angle from the first vector. The photonic mixer generates a second plurality of electrical output signals corresponding to a second plurality of phase values. Each phase value of the second plurality of phase values is respectively offset with respect to each phase value of the first plurality of phase values by a predetermined phase offset value. The signal processor processes the second plurality of electrical output signals in order to calculate a second vector, and de-rotates the second vector calculated and calculates a second angle from the de-rotated vector before offsetting the second angle against the first angle, thereby generating a corrected output angle.
