Abstract
One example provides a computing system comprising a depth sensor comprising a plurality of pixels, and a storage machine holding instructions executable by a logic machine to, for each pixel, make K phase measurements to form a set of noisy phase measurements, determine a location at which a projection line that passes through the set of noisy phase measurements in a K-dimensional phase space passes through a lower dimensional plane, the projection line being parallel to a noise free phase evolution line, compare the location to a plurality of independent terms of a predetermined matrix of points in the lower dimensional plane, locate a corresponding set of noiseless phase orders by using a selected set of independent terms to reference a look-up table, determine a distance value for the pixel based upon the corresponding set of noiseless phase orders, and output the distance value for the pixel.
