ToF sensor has 3D point cloud with precise coordinates, which can locate the high-precision 3D digital model of the target object; and breaks through the limitations of 2D vision, such as light source changes, dependence on the contrast on the surface of the target object, and inability to process height information. Modeling, VR/AR, indoor navigation and positioning application scenarios provide basic technical support, and the visual function can be greatly expanded. main working principle is:
ToF sensor can output IR image while outputting depth image, which is equivalent to adding radar effect to 3D image. At the same time, there are also ToF camera products that combine RGB, RGB image and depth image are output synchronously, and there will be many in-depth applications in the future.
As the integration of ToF sensor modules improves, the cost of module solutions decreases, and related algorithms are continuously optimized, ToF sensor technology will further application mobile terminals, smart wearable devices, smart cars and other fields.
Application range of ToF sensor is more extensive. ToF sensor is seen in many products, such as mobile phone rear camera, robot vacuum, or placed in the car cockpit for face recognition, posture detection, fatigue detection and other safety Monitoring function; in addition, some ToF sensors can also be used in industrial scenarios such as AGV guidance and obstacle avoidance and volume measurement.
