Abstract
Time of Flight (ToF) image processing methods include collecting correlation samples to calculate a phase estimate. Systems and methods are provided for collecting correlation samples from multiple pixels. An image processing system for continuous waves includes a light source configured to emit light, an image sensor having a plurality of pixels, and a processor configured to collect correlation samples from a subset of the plurality of pixels in the image sensor.
