Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a distance measurement apparatus, a distance measurement method, and a distance measurement system that permits speedup of operation of a TOF sensor as a whole by speeding up operation of ADCs. 
     In a distance measurement apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure, a light reception section includes a plurality of AD conversion sections for AD conversion of pixel signals read out from the pixels. The AD conversion sections switch between first AD conversion performed with an accuracy of a first bit count and second AD conversion performed with an accuracy of a second bit count that is larger than the first bit count. The calculation section measures a distance to the target by using a result of the first or second AD conversion by the AD conversion sections. The present disclosure is applicable to a vehicle-mounted TOF sensor, for example.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for rapidly detecting, localizing, imaging, and quantifying leaks of natural gas and other hydrocarbon and greenhouse gases. Scanning sensors, scan patterns, and data processing algorithms enable monitoring a site to rapidly detect, localize, image, and quantify amounts and rates of hydrocarbon leaks. Multispectral short-wave infrared detectors sense non-thermal infrared radiation from natural solar or artificial illumination sources by differential absorption spectroscopy. A multispectral sensor is scanned to envelop an area of interest, detect the presence and location of a leak, and raster scan the area around the leak to create an image of the leak. The resulting absorption image related to differential spectral optical depth is color mapped to render the degree of gas absorption across the scene. Analysis of this optical depth image, with factors including known inline pressures and/or surface wind speed measurements, enable estimation of the leak rate, i.e., emission mass flux of gas.
