title: Modeling "wiggling" as a multi-path interference problem in AMCW ToF imaging.
abstract: Amplitude modulated continuous wave time-of-flight range cameras suffer from an inherent depth measurement error due to aliasing of the emitted signal vs reference signal correlation function. This is due to higher harmonics present in both signals which are not accounted for in the model or measurements. This "wiggling" error is generally corrected by employing a correction function based on frequency and depth dependent calibration data. This problem is shown to be equivalent to a multi-path interference problem. Casting the problem into the multi-path interference domain and utilizing multiple modulation frequencies provides tools for dealing with the depth error without calibration in a frequency independent way.
