Video of the Day: tutorial on iToF imagers


Abstract:
"Indirect Time of Flight 3D imaging is an emerging technology used in 3D cameras. The technology is based on measuring the time of flight of modulated light. It allows to generate fine grain depth images with several hundreds of thousand image points. I-TOF has become a standard solution for face recognition and authentication. Recently I-TOF is also used in various new applications, such as computational photography, gesture recognition and robotics. This talk will introduce the basic operation principle of an I-TOF 3D imager IC. The integrated building blocks will be discussed and the analog operation of an I-TOF pixel will be addressed in detail. System level topics of the camera module will also be covered to provide a complete overview of the technology."
This presentation was recorded as part of the lecture "Selected Topics of Advanced Analog Chip Design" from the Institute of Electronics at TU Graz.
Special thanks to Dr. Timuçin Karaca, for the insightful presentation.
