Abstract

Disclosed is a depth imaging system with a light source; a depth sensor comprising direct Time-of-Flight (dToF) pixels and indirect Time-of-Flight (iToF) pixels; and processor(s) configured to: employ the light source to emit an intensity-modulated light pulse towards objects in a real-world environment; obtain dToF data indicative of time taken by the intensity-modulated light pulse to reach the dToF pixels after being reflected by the objects; obtain iToF data indicative of phase shifts undergone by the intensity-modulated light pulse upon reaching the iToF pixels after being reflected by the objects; determine optical depths for the dToF pixels; determine optical depths for the iToF pixels; and generate a depth image from the optical depths of the dToF pixels and the optical depths of the iToF pixels.
