Compact Real-Time Inter-Frame Histogram Builder for 15-Bits High-Speed ToF-Imagers Based on Single-Photon Detection
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019)
Time-of-flight (ToF) image sensors based on single-photon detection, i.e., SPADs, require some filtering of pixel readings. Accurate depth measurements are only possible if the jitter of the detector is mitigated. Moreover, ...
