Abstract
A time-of-flight camera includes a light emitter, a photo detector, and a controller. The time-of-flight camera may determine depth motion of an object by emitting light pulses, receiving reflected light pulses from the object, and accumulating a plurality of charges based on the reflected light pulses. The depth motion may be determined by the controller through analysis of the accumulated charges.
