TIME OF FLIGHT CAMERA SYSTEM WHICH RESOLVES DIRECT AND MULTI-PATH RADIATION COMPONENTS

摘要

The invention provides a time of flight camera system arranged to resolve the direct path component or the multi-path component of modulated radiation reflected from a target. The camera system includes a time of flight transmitter arranged to transmit modulated radiation at a target, and at least one pattern application structure operating between the transmitter and the target. The pattern application structure operates to apply at least one structured light pattern to the modulated transmitter radiation. The camera system also includes an image sensor configured to measure radiation reflected from a target. The camera system is arranged to resolve from the measurements received the contribution of direct source reflection radiation reflected from the target.
