TOF APPARATUS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18256535 titled 'TOF APPARATUS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application discloses a Time of Flight (TOF) apparatus and an electronic device comprising the TOF apparatus. The TOF apparatus includes a transmitter and a receiver, both divided into multiple regions. The apparatus captures local 3D images of different regions of a target object through region-based turning-on and detection, and the electronic device splices these images to obtain a complete 3D image of the target object.

  • TOF apparatus with transmitter and receiver divided into multiple regions
  • Captures local 3D images of different regions of a target object
  • Electronic device splices the images to obtain a complete 3D image

Potential Applications

  • 3D scanning and imaging technology
  • Augmented reality applications
  • Robotics and automation

Problems Solved

  • Improved accuracy in capturing 3D images
  • Efficient processing of multiple local images
  • Enhanced visualization of target objects

Benefits

  • High-quality 3D imaging
  • Enhanced spatial awareness
  • Improved object recognition and tracking


Original Abstract Submitted

This application discloses a time of flight (TOF) apparatus and an electronic device comprising the TOF apparatus. The TOF apparatus includes a transmitter and a receiver, and both the transmitter and the receiver are divided into a plurality of regions. The TOF apparatus can capture a plurality of local 3D images corresponding to different regions of a target object in a manner in which the transmitter performs region-based turning-on and the receiver performs region-based detection, and then the electronic device splices the plurality of local 3D images, to obtain a 3D image of the target object.
