  • Patent number: 10311378
    Abstract: A depth detection apparatus is described which has a memory storing raw time-of-flight sensor data received from a time-of-flight sensor. The depth detection apparatus also has a trained machine learning component having been trained using training data pairs. A training data pair comprises at least one simulated raw time-of-flight sensor data value and a corresponding simulated ground truth depth value. The trained machine learning component is configured to compute in a single stage, for an item of the stored raw time-of-flight sensor data, a depth value of a surface depicted by the item, by pushing the item through the trained machine learning component.

  • Patent number: 10229502
    Abstract: A depth detection apparatus is described which has a memory and a computation logic. The memory stores frames of raw time-of-flight sensor data received from a time-of-flight sensor, the frames having been captured by a time-of-flight camera in the presence of motion such that different ones of the frames were captured using different locations of the camera and/or with different locations of an object in a scene depicted in the frames. The computation logic has functionality to compute a plurality of depth maps from the stream of frames, whereby each frame of raw time-of-flight sensor data contributes to more than one depth map.
