Classification: CPC nan | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. An image sensor, comprising:
a time-resolving sensor comprising at least one pixel, the time-resolving sensor outputting a first signal and a second signal based on detecting by the at least one pixel one or more photons that have been reflected off a surface of an object, a first ratio of a magnitude of the first signal to a sum of the magnitude of the first signal and a magnitude of the second signal being proportional to a time of flight of the one or more detected photons, and a second ratio of the magnitude of the second signal to the sum of the magnitude of the first signal and the magnitude of the second signal being proportional to the time of flight of the one or more detected photons; and
a processor configured to determine a surface reflectance of the object where the one or more photons detected by the at least one pixel has been reflected based on the first signal and the second signal.
