Claim 14:
15. One or more non-transitory computer storage media storing instructions that, when executed by an imaging system, cause the imaging system to perform operations comprising:
determining, by an individual time-of-flight pixel in an array of time-of-flight pixels, (i) phase shift data based on a phase shift between first light emitted by the imaging system to illuminate a scene and second light that is detected based on a reflection of the first light and (ii) intensity data based on an amplitude of the second light;
determining disparity data using the intensity data of each of at least two time-of-flight pixels shared by an individual micro-lens of a plurality of micro-lenses included in the array of time-of-flight pixels; and
determining a distance between an object in the scene based in part on at least one of the phase shift data determined for each time-of-flight pixel in the array or the disparity data determined in association with the individual micro-lens of the plurality of micro-lenses.
