Distance Measurement Error in Time-of-Flight Sensors Due to Shot Noise
Unlike other noise sources, which can be reduced or eliminated by different signal processing techniques, shot noise is an ever-present noise component in any imaging system. In this paper, we present an in-depth study of the impact of shot noise on time-of-flight sensors in terms of the error introduced in the distance estimation. The paper addresses the effect of parameters, such as the size ...
متن کاملExperimental Comparison of Four Different CMOS Pixel Architectures Used in Indirect Time-of-Flight Distance Measurement Sensors
Four different pixel architectures to be used in CMOS based indirect time-of-flight (ToF) rangers were designed, fabricated and characterised. The measured results are presented here for their direct comparison. Sharing a very similar, yet case optimised readout circuitry in each case, three fabricated CMOS rangers were based respectively on a pinned photodiode (PPD), a photogate, and a newly d...
متن کاملQuantum measurement of phonon shot noise.
We provide a full quantum mechanical analysis of a weak energy measurement of a driven mechanical resonator. We demonstrate that measurements too weak to resolve individual mechanical Fock states can nonetheless be used to detect the nonclassical energy fluctuations of the driven mechanical resonator, i.e., "phonon shot noise". We also show that the third moment of the oscillator's energy fluct...
متن کاملTime-of-Flight Sensors in Computer Graphics
A growing number of applications depend on accurate and fast 3D scene analysis. Examples are model and lightfield acquisition, collision prevention, mixed reality, and gesture recognition. The estimation of a range map by image analysis or laser scan techniques is still a time-consuming and expensive part of such systems. A lower-priced, fast and robust alternative for distance measurements are...
متن کاملPost-processing modeling and removal of background noise in space-based time-of-flight sensors
This paper develops and implements a mathematical framework that enables noise modeling and removal for any sensor that relies on discretely measured events. Here, we apply this technique to data from the Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer (FIPS), a time-of-flight mass spectrometer on the MESSENGER spacecraft. An iterative Monte Carlo event-processing algorithm is used to probabilistically separa...
