Abstract
An optoelectronic module operable to collect distance data via a time-of-flight mode and a time-of-flight-triangulation mode includes an illumination assembly and an imaging assembly. The imaging assembly includes at least one demodulation pixel operable to determine distance to an object via a time-of-flight mode and a time-of-flight-triangulation mode. Multi-path distance inaccuracies can be mitigated in some implementations.
