  • Publication number: 20250347548
    Abstract: According to one aspect, a method is provided for measuring a physical quantity of a container placed in a detection area, using a time-of-flight sensor. The method comprises, using a processor, receiving a histogram or a matrix of histograms generated from a light pulse emitted by a time-of-flight sensor and reflected by the container, each histogram being formed of bins corresponding to distinct times of flight, extracting, for each histogram, a first histogram bin that indicates a pulse rising edge, so as to obtain a matrix of first histogram bins, and determining the height, the diameter, the position of the container and/or the filling height of the container from the matrix of first histogram bins.

  • Patent number: 11663697
    Abstract: A device for assembling at least two shots of a scene acquired by at least one sensor includes a memory and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to save, in the memory, a first data set contained in a first signal generated by each pixel of the sensor and indicative of a first shot of the scene, and a second data set contained in a second signal generated by each pixel of the sensor and indicative of a second shot of the scene. The processing circuitry is further configured to assemble the first and second shots on the basis of the content of the first and second data sets of a plurality of pixels in order to form a resulting scene.
