Abstract

A device includes a circuitry which has an image sensor with a plurality of pixels, wherein the circuitry obtains a differential mode for a quad of each pixel from the plurality of pixels of the image sensor, being representative of a depth information; obtains a first input based on a common mode signal for the quad of the pixel, being representative of an intensity of ambient light; obtains a second input being representative of a background light rejection ratio of the pixel; and estimates a phase for the pixel from the plurality of pixels of the image sensor based on the differential mode, the first input and the second input.
