A direct time-of-flight image sensor with in-pixel surface detection and dynamic vision. (arXiv:2209.11772v1 [cs.CV])

3D flash LIDAR is an alternative to the traditional scanning LIDAR systems,
promising precise depth imaging in a compact form factor, and free of moving
parts, for applications such as self-driving cars, robotics and augmented
reality (AR). Typically implemented using single-photon, direct time-of-flight
(dToF) receivers in image sensor format, the operation of the devices can be
hindered by the large number of photon events needing to be processed and
compressed in outdoor scenarios, limiting frame rates and scalability to larger …
