  • CMOS IMAGE SENSOR FOR 2D IMAGING AND DEPTH MEASUREMENT WITH AMBIENT LIGHT REJECTION
    Publication number: 20210041225
    Abstract: Using the same image sensor to capture both a two-dimensional (2D) image of a three-dimensional (3D) object and 3D depth measurements for the object. A laser point-scans the surface of the object with light spots, which are detected by a pixel array in the image sensor to generate the 3D depth profile of the object using triangulation. Each row of pixels in the pixel array forms an epipolar line of the corresponding laser scan line. Timestamping provides a correspondence between the pixel location of a captured light spot and the respective scan angle of the laser to remove any ambiguity in triangulation. An Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) in the image sensor generates a multi-bit output in the 2D mode and a binary output in the 3D mode to generate timestamps. Strong ambient light is rejected by switching the image sensor to a 3D logarithmic mode from a 3D linear mode.

    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, devices, computer program products, and methods implementing aspects of machine learning for a decentralized content-centric system. In some implementations, predicted scores are obtained for a subset of fabric nodes of an overlay network. The scores can be based on prior training. A top scoring fabric node of the subset is identified as an egress node for communicating with a client. Also obtained are predicted scores for egress-origin segments defining paths in the overlay network between the egress node and origin nodes of the fabric nodes. The origin nodes store a content object part associated with digital content. One or more of the egress-origin segments is identified as being top scoring and is configured to be processed to identify one of the origin nodes for providing the content object part.
