3D Scene Inference from Transient Histograms. (arXiv:2211.05094v1 [cs.CV])

Time-resolved image sensors that capture light at pico-to-nanosecond
timescales were once limited to niche applications but are now rapidly becoming
mainstream in consumer devices. We propose low-cost and low-power imaging
modalities that capture scene information from minimal time-resolved image
sensors with as few as one pixel. The key idea is to flood illuminate large
scene patches (or the entire scene) with a pulsed light source and measure the
time-resolved reflected light by integrating over the entire illuminated area.
The one-dimensional …
