For automobiles ToF cameras are mainly used in three areas, one is driver fatigue monitoring in the cockpit, gesture recognition, and face recognition. The second area is solid-state lidar. ToF camera can be regarded as a kind of solid-state lidar, there are Flash type and single photon. The third area is the area of automatic parking.
ToF cameras is the perfect choice for medical imaging applications. 3D image data brings a series of potential applications for medical treatment: such as patient placement and monitoring, physical examination and X-ray diagnosis.
ToF camera is one of the main technology types currently used in 3D depth cameras. The depth camera, also known as a 3D tof sensor, is an imaging device that can obtain distance data through visual data.
Since the development of image sensors, from 2D to 3D has become the general trend, especially in the current widespread use of smart phones, consumers' continuous demand for cameras makes manufacturers more active in the field of 3D sensing.
For a long time, 3D technology has been slow to develop due to the limitations of application scenarios. Until the past two years, virtual reality, AI photography, 3D modeling and other scenes have been gradually implemented
When ToF sensors gradually become the standard configuration of smartphones, multi-cameras are gradually emerging, which can be used for multi-scene recognition applications,
In long-distance application scenarios such as AR applications and gesture recognition, the ToF solution is more suitable. ToF camera has the characteristics of simple structure, smaller module size, longer detection distance, lower material cost, etc., and it has more advantages in the rear scene of smartphones.
DMOM2508CL is a small and high-precision ToF camera, very suitable for short-range (a few centimeters to two meters) gesture recognition and distance measurement applications.
Before 2010, ToF technology was mostly used in scientific research fields such as "cosmic measurement" and "high-precision microscope". In recent years, with the substantial improvement in the performance of light-emitting components, the demand for 3D applications has expanded in the context of the emergence of autonomous driving
ToF technology can be applied not only to 3D face recognition and 3D modeling, but also to environment reconstruction, gesture recognition, motion sensing games, AR/VR, navigation and other applications. Compared with structured light technology, ToF camera technology has a wider application range and more imagination space.
