Abstract
An imaging device includes a pixel, and a signal processor configured to randomly apply a first set of signals including a first driving signal applied to a first light source, and a first set of control signals applied to the pixel that adhere to a quasi-Gray code scheme to generate first through eighth correlation signals based on light output from the first light source according to the first driving signal and reflected from an object. The signal processor is configured to randomly apply a second set of signals including a second driving signal applied to the first light source, and a second set of control signals applied to the pixel that adhere to the quasi-Gray code scheme to generate ninth through sixteenth correlation signals based on light output from the first light source according to the second driving signal and reflected from the object.
