Abstract
An imaging device includes a pixel and a signal processor configured to apply a first set of control signals to the pixel to generate a first pixel signal, a second pixel signal, a third pixel signal, and a fourth pixel signal based on light reflected from an object. The signal processor is configured to apply a second set of control signals to the pixel to generate a fifth pixel signal, a sixth pixel signal, a seventh pixel signal, and an eighth pixel signal based on the light reflected from the object. The signal processor is configured to calculate a distance to the object based on comparisons between selected ones of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth pixel signals.
