Abstract
A GT-TOF camera that illuminates a scene with a train of light pulses to determine amounts of light reflected from the transmitted light pulses by features in a scene for each of N different exposure periods and determines a distance to a feature in the scene responsive to a direction in an N-dimensional space of an N-dimensional vector defined by the amounts of reflected light determined for the feature for the N gates.
