  • Publication number: 20240045058
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a signal processing apparatus, a signal processing method, and a program that make it possible to achieve further enhancement of the functionality. An embedded data separator extracts embedded data embedded in phase data supplied from an iTOF sensor, and an OPD calculation section calculates OPD data indicative of a detected light amount necessary for execution of automatic exposure from the phase data. A depth data processing section executes a signal process for the phase data to acquire depth data indicative of a depth to a target object that is a target of distance measurement. A transmission processing section transmits the embedded data, the OPD data, and the depth data in an output format that complies with the MIPI format. The present technology can be applied, for example, to a distance measurement system that includes an iTOF sensor.
