Abstract
Examples are provided that relate to processing depth camera data over a distributed computing system, where phase unwrapping is performed prior to denoising. One example provides a time-of-flight camera comprising a time-of-flight depth image sensor, a logic machine, a communication subsystem, and a storage machine holding instructions executable by the logic machine to process time-of-flight image data acquired by the time-of-flight depth image sensor by, prior to denoising, performing phase unwrapping pixel-wise on the time-of-flight image data to obtain coarse depth image data comprising depth values; and send the coarse depth image data and active brightness image data to a remote computing system via the communication subsystem for denoising.
