Method for Distance Ranging Combining Time of Flight Sensor with Aiming Dot Parallax Detection

An imaging device for capturing and processing images, the imaging device comprising:

• a housing;
• a depth sensor operable to detect that an object is in a ranging field of view (FOV) of the depth sensor;
• an imaging sensor at least partially disposed within the housing and operable to capture images of the object within an imaging FOV of the imaging sensor;
• one or more processors;
• and
• a computer-readable media storing machine readable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
• detect, using the depth sensor, a first detected distance of the object from the imaging device;
• perform, using the imaging sensor, a distance ranging procedure to detect a second detected distance of the object from the imaging device;
• compare the first detected distance to the second detected distance;
• and
• in response to a difference between the first detected distance and the second detected distance perform a mitigation to determine a desired distance to the object.
