What is ToF module?
This Time of Flight (ToF) sensor module can cover a wide range and can adjust the distance based on the requirement of each situation (e.g. 2m for functional safety). This provides better sensing accuracy than infrared sensors, as well as lower cost and power than image sensors that have cameras.
How do ToF sensors work?
A ToF camera uses infrared light (lasers invisible to human eyes) to determine depth information – a bit like how a bat senses it surroundings. The sensor emits a light signal, which hits the subject and returns to the sensor. The time it takes to bounce back is then measured and provides depth-mapping capabilities.
Is LiDAR the same as ToF?
How Are LiDAR and ToF Different? The functional difference between LiDAR and other forms of ToF is that LiDAR uses pulsed lasers to build a point cloud, which is then used to construct a 3D map or image. ToF applications create “depth maps” based on light detection, usually through a standard RGB camera.
What is ToF camera sensor?
Time of Flight Technology Overview A ToF camera measures distance by actively illuminating an object with a modulated light source such as a laser and a sensor that is sensitive to the laser’s wavelength for capturing reflected light.
Why do we need a 3D TOF sensor module?
TOF Sensor Module ideal for 3D distance measurement High ambient light immunity and flexible assembly. If multiple TOF sensors are placed facing each other or in parallel, the output may become unstable due to the influence of the other TOF sensors (mutual interference).
What are the benefits of St TOF sensors?
ST ToF sensors are an all-in-one (emitter, receiver, and processor) system for an easy, cost effective, and small footprint integration. Benefits of FlightSense sensors True distance measurement, independent of target size, color, and reflectance
What can a Domi 3D ToF camera be used for?
DOMI 3D TOF sensors can be utilized in a range of applications, including robot navigation,obstacle avoidance and so on. DOMI 3D TOF camera technology improves face recognition accuracy and security.
How does HDR work in a TOF sensor?
HDR (High Dynamic Range) function is installed standard in the sensor The process works by measuring data points at two different exposure times, allowing for a complete view.. When measuring at a certain distance, the HDR function may be turned off if the customer desires to save processing power.
