TL;DR: This paper provides a formal description of the Iterative Closest Point algorithm, extends it to registration of partially overlapping surfaces, proves its convergence, derive the required covariance matrices for a set of selected applications, and presents means for optimizing the runtime.

TL;DR: SRA allows for very general forms of multipath, including interference with three or more paths, diffuse multipath resulting from Lambertian surfaces, and combinations thereof, and removes this general multipath with robust techniques based on L 1 optimization.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a 3D time-of-flight camera and a corresponding method for acquiring information about a scene, which consists of a radiation source, a radiation detector comprising one or more pixels, and an evaluation unit that evaluates said sample sets of said two or more detection units and generates scene-related information from the sample sets.

TL;DR: Sparse reflections analysis (SRA) as mentioned in this paper removes general forms of multipath interference with robust techniques based on $L_1$ optimization, including interference with three or more paths and diffuse multipath resulting from Lambertian surfaces.

TL;DR: A novel pipeline for mobile depth that supports a wide array of mobile phones, and uses only the existing monocular color sensor, is provided, providing the ability to compute low latency dense depth maps using only a single CPU core of a wide range of (medium-high) mobile phones.
