Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A depth calculation method of a depth sensor includes outputting a modulated light to a target object, detecting four pixel signals from a depth pixel based on a reflected light reflected by the target object, determining whether each of the four pixel signals is saturated based on results of comparing a magnitude of each of the four pixel signals with a threshold value, and calculating depth to the target object based on the determination result.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of calculating depth using a depth sensor comprising: outputting a modulated light to a target object; detecting four pixel signals (A 0 , A 1 , A 2 , A 3 ) from a depth pixel based on a reflected light reflected by the target object during an integration time; determining whether each of the four pixel signals is a saturated pixel signal based on a magnitude of each of the four pixel signals (A 0 , A 1 , A 2 , A 3 ) and a threshold value of the…
