Abstract
A method to identify one or more depth-image segments that correspond to a predetermined object type is enacted in a depth-imaging controller operatively coupled to an optical time-of-flight (ToF) camera; it comprises: receiving depth-image data from the optical ToF camera, the depth-image data exhibiting an aliasing uncertainty, such that a coordinate (X, Y) of the depth-image data maps to a periodic series of depth values {Z}; and labeling, as corresponding to the object type, one or more coordinates of the depth-image data exhibiting the aliasing uncertainty.
