Abstract
In an embodiment a method for detecting a presence of at least one object in a field of view of a time of flight sensor includes successively generating, by the time of flight sensor, histograms, each histogram comprising several classes associating a number of photons detected at a given acquisition period, adding several successively generated histograms so as to obtain a summed histogram and analyzing the summed histogram to detect the presence of at least one object in the field of view of the time of flight sensor.
