Claim 6:
7. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium encoded with executable instructions for operating an image sensor that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations, comprising:
determining, for an object imaged by the image sensor, a distance between the object and the image sensor using a distance sensor;
associating, for the object, a pixel region of the image sensor with the object;
determining, for the pixel region associated with the object, a start time for exposure of the pixel region to light incoming to the pixel region using the distance, wherein the start time corresponds to a time of flight of light from a light source to the object and back from the object to the pixel region; and
gating the pixel region associated with the object using a gating circuit associated with the pixel region, wherein the gating circuit is configured to expose the pixel region.
