Abstract
Time of Flight (ToF) image processing systems and methods for proximity detection are disclosed. In particular, use of a separate proximity detector can be eliminated by using the time of flight image processing system as disclosed herein. In particular, the time of flight image processing system has two modes: a low resolution proximity detection mode and a high resolution imaging mode.
