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} } @inproceedings{HagebeukerRingbeckFrydlewiczetal.2007, author = {Hagebeuker, Bianca and Ringbeck, Thorsten and Frydlewicz, Paul and Jesorsky, Oliver and S{\"u}nkel, Thomas}, title = {PMD-Sensoren als Schl{\"u}sselkomponenten f{\"u}r die mehrdimensionale Umfelderfassung des Fahrzeuginnenraums}, series = {Begleittexte zum Entwicklerforum KFZ-Elektronik \& FlexRay Solution Day : 15.Mai 2007, Ludwigsburg}, booktitle = {Begleittexte zum Entwicklerforum KFZ-Elektronik \& FlexRay Solution Day : 15.Mai 2007, Ludwigsburg}, editor = {Grote, Caspar}, publisher = {WEKA-Fachzeitschr.-Verl.}, address = {Poing}, pages = {287 -- 296}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BuxbaumSchwarteRingbeck2000, author = {Buxbaum, Bernd and Schwarte, Rudolf and Ringbeck, Thorsten}, title = {Synchronization in spread spectrum laser radar systems based on PMD-DLL}, series = {Laser radar technology and applications V : 26 - 28 April 2000, Orlando, USA. - (SPIE proceedings series ; 4035)}, booktitle = {Laser radar technology and applications V : 26 - 28 April 2000, Orlando, USA. - (SPIE proceedings series ; 4035)}, editor = {Kamerman, Gary W.}, publisher = {SPIE}, address = {Bellingham, Wash.}, isbn = {0-8194-3661-5}, issn = {0038-7355}, pages = {204 -- 216}, year = {2000}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RingbeckSchwarteBuxbaum1999, author = {Ringbeck, Thorsten and Schwarte, Rudolf and Buxbaum, Bernd}, title = {Introduction of a new opto-electrical phase-locked loop in CMOS technology: the PMD-PLL}, series = {Optical wireless communications II / [SPIE Conference on Optical Wireless Communications II], 22 September 1999, Boston, Massachusetts. - (SPIE proceedings series ; 3850)}, booktitle = {Optical wireless communications II / [SPIE Conference on Optical Wireless Communications II], 22 September 1999, Boston, Massachusetts. - (SPIE proceedings series ; 3850)}, editor = {Korevaar, Eric John}, publisher = {SPIE}, address = {Bellingham, Wash.}, isbn = {0-8194-3443-4}, issn = {0038-7355}, pages = {108 -- 116}, year = {1999}, language = {en} }
