Depth imaging system implementing the method of any of the previous claims comprising: a. an imaging device () comprising a matrix of pixels () each pixel comprising a photodetector () capable of detecting single photons impinging thereon and optics able to make an image of the field of view on the matrix of pixel (), said single photon detector having a binary logic status of true when a photon is detected and a logic status of false when no photon is detected in a timeframe; b. a projector () able to project a pattern in a time window of less than 10 μsec, preferably less than 1 μsec; c. a controller synchronising the projector () time window and the imaging device timeframe; d. a logic determining, in use, the presence, during the timeframe, of contiguous pixels () in the true state, and calculating the depth profile corresponding to said contiguous pixels ().

Three dimensional imaging system

The present invention relates to an imaging sensor system () having a high detection accuracy. The system () comprises a plurality of pixel sensors () and at least one light source. The pixel sensors () are grouped in clusters, wherein each pixel sensor () comprises a photodetector () and a local controlling circuit (). The plurality of sensors () in each cluster are configured, using local controlling circuits (), to output a global detection signal () when detecting a local detection signal () from at least two outputs of the photodetectors () of said cluster. The system () has a high detection accuracy due to ruling out false positive detections, since each detection requires at least two positive outputs of the photodetectors () of said cluster.
