Abstract

The invention discloses a time-of-flight ranging device and method, and is used for measuring a distance from an object. The method comprises the following operations of irradiating an object througha first laser light, and generating a first reflected laser (S501); sensing the first reflected laser light, and obtaining a first phase displacement between the first laser light and the first reflected laser light, and the first phase displacement being less than 2 pi (S502); adding 2pi to a first phase shift to obtain a second phase shift (S503); irradiating the object with a second laser beamand generating a second reflected laser beam (S504); sensing the second reflected laser light, and obtaining a first light intensity(S505) of the second reflected laser light at a time point; determining whether the first phase shift or the second phase shift is a phase delay between the first laser light and the first reflected laser light according to the first light intensity (S506); and calculating a distance according to the phase delay (S507). The method is advantaged in that the time-of-flight distance measurement method reduces system power consumption and the operation time on the premise of not influencing accuracy.

Description

Technical field [0001] This application relates to a time-of-flight ranging method system, and more particularly to a flying distance-measuring method that uses lasers of different frequencies to sense the distance to an object and a related time-of-flight ranging device. Background technique [0002] Traditional image sensors can generate two-dimensional (2D) images and videos. Recently, image sensors and systems that can generate three-dimensional (3D) images (or depth images) have received widespread attention. These three-dimensional image sensors can be used for face recognition and augmented reality ( Augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) can be used in mobile phones, drones, security systems, artificial intelligence systems and other devices. [0003] The existing three-dimensional image sensor mainly has three implementation methods: stereo binocular, structured light and time of flight (ToF). [0004] Time-of-flight ranging is done by using specially designed pixels t...
