Time-of-flight sensor and system

Abstract

The present disclosure pertains to a time-of-flight system, having: an illumination source, a time-of-flight camera having a time-of-flight sensor, including: a light sensing circuitry for detecting light and outputting light sensing signals; and a logic circuitry for processing the light sensing signals from the light sensing circuitry, wherein the logic circuitry includes a sequencer circuitry and a register circuitry, wherein the register circuitry includes multiple registers for storing data which are derived on the basis of the light sensing signals and wherein the sequencer circuitry is adapted to select at least a first set of registers of the register circuitry and a second set of registers of the register circuitry for dynamically providing a first type of frames based on the selected first set of registers and a second type of frames based on the selected second set of registers, wherein first type frames and second type frames are generated in a defined sequence of frames, and a host circuitry connected via a bus to the time-of-flight camera, wherein the host circuitry is configured to configure the sequencer circuitry.
