Abstract
Provided is a depth detection system and method of histogram binning for depth detection. The depth detection system includes a light source configured to emit a light pulse toward an object, an optical sensor configured to detect the light pulse reflecting off the object, the optical sensor including a first sensing pixel configured to detect the light pulse for a first event count according to the light pulse reflecting off the object, and a second sensing pixel configured to detect the light pulse for a second event count according to the light pulse reflecting off the object, and a processing circuit configured to determine a first aggregated histogram corresponding to the first sensing pixel based on the first event count and the second event count and determine a first peak of the first aggregated histogram to determine a first time of flight associated with the first sensing pixel.
