ToF sensors provide full range distance information at high frame-rates and thus have a significant impact onto current research in areas like online object recognition, collision prevention or scene reconstruction. However, ToF cameras like the photonic mixer device (PMD) still exhibit a number of challenges regarding static and dynamic effects, e.g. systematic distance errors and motion artefacts, respectively. Sensor calibration techniques reducing static system errors have been proposed and show promising results. However, current calibration techniques in general need a large set of reference data in order to determine the corresponding parameters for the calibration model. This paper introduces a new calibration approach which combines different demodulation techniques for the ToF- camera 's reference signal. Examples show, that the resulting combined demodulation technique yields improved distance values based on only two required reference data sets.}, language = {en} } @misc{HilgenstockLangeRiedeletal.2006, author = {Hilgenstock, J{\"o}rg and Lange, Robert and Riedel, Helmut and Ringbeck, Thorsten}, title = {Verfahren und Entfernungsmessvorrichtung zum Bestimmen der Entfernung zwischen einem Objekt und der Vorrichtung : [Offenlegungsschrift / Europ{\"a}ische Patentanmeldung]}, publisher = {Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt / Europ{\"a}isches Patentamt}, address = {M{\"u}nchen / Den Hague}, year = {2006}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{HessLuanSchwarteetal.2001, author = {Hess, Holger and Luan, Xuming and Schwarte, Rudolf and Zhang, Zhigang and Xu, Zhanping and Heinol, Horst-Guenther and Buxbaum, Bernd and Ringbeck, Thorsten}, title = {Three-dimensional intelligent sensing based on the PMD technology}, series = {Sensors, Systems, and Next-Generation Satellites V : 17 - 20 September 2001, Toulouse, France. - (SPIE proceedings series ; 4540)}, booktitle = {Sensors, Systems, and Next-Generation Satellites V : 17 - 20 September 2001, Toulouse, France. - (SPIE proceedings series ; 4540)}, editor = {Fujisada, Hiroyuki}, publisher = {SPIE}, address = {Bellingham, Wash.}, isbn = {0-8194-4265-8}, issn = {0038-7355}, pages = {482 -- 488}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HeinolXuSchwarteetal.1997, author = {Heinol, Horst-Guenther and Xu, Zhanping and Schwarte, Rudolf and Ringbeck, Thorsten}, title = {Experimentelle Ergebnisse eines neuartigen schnellen 3D-MeEsystems mit modifizierten elektrooptischen Modulationskomponenten}, series = {Optische Formerfassung : Erfahrungsaustausch zwischen Anwendern und Entwicklern ; Manuskripte der Vortr{\"a}ge und Pr{\"a}sentationen zur DGZfP-VDI/VDE-GMA-Fachtagung am 28. und 29.
