1. A time-of-flight (TOF) sensor device, comprising:

  • a memory that stores computer-executable components; and

    a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the computer-executable components, the computer-executable components comprising;

    an illumination component configured to emit a light beam toward a viewing space;

    a first distance determination component configured to generate first distance information for a pixel corresponding to an object in the viewing space based on time-of-flight analysis of reflected light incident on a photo-receiver array;

    a second distance determination component configured to generate second distance information for the pixel corresponding to the object; and

    a distance adjustment component configured to apply a correction factor to the first distance information based on second distance information.
