  • Publication number: 20240083346
    Abstract: A gating camera divides a field of view in a depth direction into multiple slices, and generates multiple slice images that correspond to the multiple slices. An illumination apparatus emits illumination light. A camera controller controls a light emission timing of the illumination apparatus and an exposure timing of an image sensor so as to generate slice images from a near slice to a farther slice. An arithmetic processing device judges whether a road surface appears for each of the slice images generated in sequence. Processing for a row judged to include a road surface in a given slice is simplified at the time of sensing of a slice farther than the given slice.

  • Publication number: 20240067094
    Abstract: A gating camera divides a field of view in a depth direction into multiple ranges, and generates multiple slice images that correspond to the multiple ranges. A controller is configured to generate an emission control signal and an exposure control signal. An illumination apparatus emits probe light according to the emission control signal during normal imaging. An image sensor performs exposure according to the exposure control signal. A calibration light source emits calibration light to the image sensor according to the emission control signal during calibration. The controller sweeps a time difference between the emission control signal and the exposure control signal, and monitors a change in a pixel value of the image sensor during the calibration.

  • Publication number: 20230341749
    Abstract: A gating camera 20 divides a field of view into a plurality of ranges in a depth direction and generates a plurality of slice images corresponding to the plurality of ranges. An illumination device 22 radiates probe light L1. An image sensor 24 outputs a compressed image IMG_COMP obtained by compressing image information related to, among a plurality of lines constituting a raw image IMG_RAW obtained as a result of an exposure, an invalid line that does not contain a target. A camera controller 26 controls a light emission timing of the illumination device 22 and an exposure timing of the image sensor 24. An image processing device 28 receives the compressed image IMG_COMP from the image sensor 24, and decompresses a slice image IMG.
