The distance information can be calculated by estimating the elapsed time between the emission and the receiving of active light. The simulation of sensors is an essential building block for hardware design and application development. Thus, expensive prototypes can be omitted and down-stream algorithms, e.g. for sensor calibration and sensor data processing, can be tested. This paper deals with the simulation of camera-like time-of-flight sensors and focuses particularly on the manipulation of camera parameters and the generation of synthetic sensor data in real-time. The sensor framework provides tools for object and camera manipulation as well as animation. All relevant parameters for the camera-like sensor, object appearance and per-pixel sensor information are available to the TOF-sensor simulation unit (SSU), which realizes the specific sensor characteristics. Moreover, we present a first concept of the simulation of photonic mixing device (PMD) sensors. The framework is hardware accelerated to allow for interactive simulator feedback, making use of the programmability of modern graphics processing units (GPUs), i.e., of vertex and fragment programs.","PeriodicalId":225101,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Symposium on Signals, Circuits and Systems","volume":"174 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122999619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using current controlled devices, the circuits are electronically tunable and do not require any matching constraints, making the approach extremely convenient for systematic design and dense layout.

The use of a bridgeless PFC circuit offers high efficiency. For high powers, the bridgeless circuit will be designed to work in continuous conduction mode (CCM), using an average current mode control. The switches have parasitic capacitances that in CCM lead to switch losses, without influencing the waveform of the converters. For low loads, the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) appears, but the parasitic capacitances lead to the input current distorsion.
