Time-of-Flight and Depth Imaging. Sensors, Algorithms and Applications [PDF ebook] 
Dagstuhl Seminar 2012 and GCPR Workshop on Imaging New Modalities

Cameras for 3D depth imaging, using either time-of-flight (To F) or structured light sensors, have received a lot of attention recently and have been improved considerably over the last few years. The present techniques make full-range 3D data available at video frame rates, and thus pave the way for a much broader application of 3D vision systems.A series of workshops have closely followed the developments within To F imaging over the years. Today, depth imaging workshops can be found at every major computer vision conference. The papers presented in this volume stem from a seminar on Time-of-Flight Imaging held at Schloss Dagstuhl in October 2012. They cover all aspects of To F depth imaging, from sensors and basic foundations, to algorithms for low level processing, to important applications that exploit depth imaging. In addition, this book contains the proceedings of a workshop on Imaging New Modalities, which was held at the German Conference on Pattern Recognition in Saarbrucken, Germany, in September 2013. A state-of-the-art report on the Kinect sensor and its applications is followed by two reports on local and global To F motion compensation and a novel depth capture system using a plenoptic multi-lens multi-focus camera sensor.
