Abstract
Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media. In one example of the present disclosure, a ToF sensor includes an array of pixels and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to generate a plurality of ToF exposure control signals that control at least one pixel of the array of pixels to generate a plurality of ToF pixel signals, generate a plurality of error correcting code (ECC) exposure control signals that control the at least one pixel to generate a plurality of ECC pixel signals, and determine a distance from an object based on the plurality of ToF pixel signals and the plurality of ECC pixel signals.
