A fast and flexible HW/SW co-processing framework for Time-of-Flight 3D imaging

Abstract

Time-of-Flight 3D imaging, using the indirect measuring method that employs photonic mixing devices, increases in popularity. This is due to the recent availability of accurate and miniaturized Time-of-Flight cameras that can be integrated into small embedded devices. However, providing a system comprising a camera and hardware-accelerated processing, which is useable for various application types with diametrically opposed use-case requirements, is not trivial.
