METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CHARACTERIZING A TIME-OF-FLIGHT SENSOR AND/OR A COVER COVERING THE TIME-OF-FLIGHT SENSOR

摘要

A method for characterizing a time-of-flight sensor and/or a cover covering the time-of-flight sensor is provided. The method includes performing at least one coded modulation measurement with the time-of-flight sensor for obtaining measurement data for light reflected from the cover back to the time-of-flight sensor. A measurement range of the time-of-flight sensor is configured to end shortly after the cover for the at least one coded modulation measurement. Further, the method includes determining characterization data based on the measurement data, wherein the characterization data indicate a quantity related to the time-of-flight sensor and/or the cover.
