Compressive Time-of-Flight Imaging

摘要

Time-of-flight (ToF) cameras are compact devices providing spatially and temporally resolved depth information. Possible applications include human-machine interaction in gaming industry or safety functions in automotive industry. In many applications, it is desirable to reduce the amount of data to be read out and transmitted from the ToF camera. Using standard ToF cameras, this can only be achieved by lowering the spatial or temporal resolution. In this paper we propose a compressive ToF camera design that allows to reduce the amount of data while keeping high spatial an temporal resolution.
