  • Patent number: 9977128
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recording a scene (3) using at least two time-of-flight cameras (1, 2), which respectively comprise a light source (5) and an image sensor (6), wherein image recording operations which comprise a measuring operation for determining depth information are carried out using each of the at least two time-of-flight cameras (1, 2), wherein the measuring operation comprises the emission of modulated light (11) by the light source (5), the detection of modulated light (12) after the reflection on objects (4) of the scene (3) using the image sensor (6), and the calculation of depth information from the propagation time of the modulated light between the emission and the detection.

  • Patent number: 9802527
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle headlight, comprising a housing (1) and modulatable light or IR radiation sources (4) which are arranged within the housing (1) and on a movable module support (5), and comprising an interface (2) for connection to an external vehicle processor (3), wherein an image sensor (6) for determining depth information from the backscatter radiation of the light or IR radiation sources (4) is arranged within the housing (1), and a processor (8) connected to the image sensor (6), which processor is connected via a modulator (9) to at least some of the modulatable light or IR radiation sources (4) arranged within the housing (1). It is proposed in accordance with the invention that the processor (8) is connected via a bidirectional data link (10) to the interface (2), and the image sensor (6) is arranged on the module support (5) or on an image sensor support triggered jointly with the module support (5).
