    • Dynamic range of photodetector sensors useable in a TOF system is enhanced by capturing images of an object using multiple exposure time settings. Longer exposure settings more appropriately capture non-reflective and/or distant objects, while shorter exposure settings more appropriately capture reflective and/or closer objects. During parallel mode operation, detection signal readouts are taken from each photodetector at different time intervals within an overall exposure time. In sequential mode operation, detection signal readouts are taken and stored for each photodetector at the end of a first exposure time interval and the photodetectors are reset. After a second, different exposure time interval readouts are taken and stored, and the photodetectors reset, etc. In these modes one of the time exposure intervals will be relatively optimum for enhanced dynamic range operation. Once images with multiple exposure settings are obtained, best effort brightness and range images can be obtained, and motion artifacts can be reduced.
    • 在TOF系统中可用的光电检测器传感器的动态范围通过使用多个曝光时间设置捕获物体的图像来增强。 较长的曝光设置更适当地捕获非反射和/或远距离的物体,而较短的曝光设置更适当地捕获反射和/或更近的物体。 在并行模式操作期间,在整个曝光时间内以不同的时间间隔从每个光电检测器获取检测信号读出。 在顺序模式操作中,在第一曝光时间间隔结束时对每个光电检测器采集和存储检测信号读出,并且光电检测器被复位。 一秒钟后,拍摄和存储不同的曝光时间间隔读数,并且光电探测器复位等。在这些模式中,对于增强的动态范围操作,时间曝光间隔之一将是相对最佳的。 一旦获得具有多个曝光设置的图像,就可以获得尽力而为的亮度和范围图像,并且可以减少运动伪影。

    • Performance of pixel detectors in a TOF imaging system is dynamically adjusted to improve dynamic range to maximize the number of pixel detectors that output valid data. The invention traverses the system-acquired z depth, the brightness, and the active brightness images, and assigns each pixel a quantized value. Quantization values encompass pixels receiving too little light, normal light, to too much light. Pixels are grouped into quantized category groups, whose populations are represented by a histogram. If the number of pixels in the normal category exceeds a threshold, no immediate corrective action is taken. If the number of pixel receiving too little (or too much) light exceeds those receiving too much (or too little) light, the invention commands at least one system parameter change to increase (or decrease) light reaching the pixels. Controllable TOF system parameters can include exposure time, common mode resets, video gain, among others.
    • 动态地调整TOF成像系统中的像素检测器的性能,以改善动态范围,以最大化输出有效数据的像素检测器的数量。 本发明遍历系统获取的z深度,亮度和有效亮度图像,并且将每个像素分配为量化值。 量化值包括光线太少,正常光线过多的光线。 像素被分组成量化类别组,其群体由直方图表示。 如果正常类别中的像素数超过阈值,则不会立即采取纠正措施。 如果接收太少(或太多)的光的数量超过接收太多(或太少)光的光的数量,则本发明命令至少一个系统参数变化来增加(或减少)到达像素的光。 可控TOF系统参数可以包括曝光时间,共模复位,视频增益等。
