The acquisition and interpretation of images is a central capability in almost all scientific and
technological domains. In particular, the acquisition of electromagnetic radiation, in the form …

A video graphics array (VGA)(640× 480) indirect time-of-flight (ToF) CMOS image sensor
has been designed with 4-tap 7-μm global-shutter pixel in 65-nm back-side illumination …

The reliable detection of the three-dimensional position of arbitrary objects in a scene is a
key capability of most animals and one of the most important tasks in machine vision …

Smart lock-in pixels for real-time range imaging have been developed at CSEM during the
last few years. These pixels, based on a combined CCD/CMOS process, are capable of …

At the light of the fundamentals of Compressive Sensing (CS) presented in Chapter 3, it is
clear that the phase-shift-based ToF imaging systems described in Chapter 2 offer an …

We offer a formal investigation of the measurement principle of time-of-flight 3-D cameras
using correlation of amplitude-modulated continuous-wave signals. These sensors can …

A new pixel in semiconductor technology comprises a photo-sensitive detection region (1)
for converting an electromagnetic wave field into an electric signal of flowing charges, a …

We present an indirect Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor based on standard pinned-photodiode
(PPD) devices and design guides to pave the way for the development of a ToF pixel …

In optical time-of-flight (TOF) range imaging, harmonic intensity modulation of the
illumination source is very common. By detecting the phase delay between emitted and …

A novel pixel architecture for two-dimensional pixel parallel demodulation of modulated light
waves is introduced, enabling real-time three-dimensional (3-D) imaging. Applications for …
