Imaging apparatuses and a time of flight imaging method
摘要
說明書
The imaging apparatus 200 includes an image sensor circuit including a plurality of time of flight sensor pixels. The imaging apparatus 200 further includes a first light emitter 111 having a first spatial offset relative to the image sensor circuit 101. The imaging apparatus 200 further includes a second light emitter 112 having a second spatial offset relative to the image sensor circuit 101. The imaging apparatus 200 further includes an image processing circuit 103 configured to produce an image of a region of an object based on first sensor pixel image data and second sensor pixel image data generated by a time of flight sensor pixel of the plurality of time of flight sensor pixels. The image includes first sub-image data of a first sub-region of the object and second sub-image data about a second sub-region of the object.
The first sensor pixel image data is based on received light emitted by the first light emitter and reflected by the object and wherein the second sensor pixel image data is based on received light emitted by the second light emitter and reflected by the object.
Due to the implementation of the imaging apparatus having a first light emitter having a first spatial offset and a second light emitter having a second spatial offset, an image of a region of an object may be produced based on first sensor pixel image data and the second sensor pixel image data. The image of the region of the object may have an improved resolution or more detailed information, for example.
