Time-of-Flight (ToF) Tips: Tips to Boost 3D Performance and Cut Integration Time & Cost
Ғылым және технология
For demanding real-time object detection, Time-of-Flight (ToF) cameras using Sony’s new IMX556 DepthSense sensor have boosted speed, precision and accuracy but also simplified integration time and cost. To achieve the full potential of Time-of-Flight technology, some key factors should be considered. In this video we'll talk about common challenges with ToF and some tips to help overcome them.

awsome explanation
This is a very informative presentation!
Thank you for that lecture it was very interesting, and I'm glad that you showed us real examples instead of theory only

Thanks for watching!
Do you have an example of showing the overlaying of color camera with the TOF camera? I appreciate your input

Cool
I need a ToF camera below the 850nm. Why cant i find any product for my application 😔

That's because any VCSELs below 850nm will conflict with many types of indoor lighting and ambient light. 850nm is used because it is outside the visible spectrum. ToF cameras have to filter out ambient light and using a wavelength lower will end up getting filtered too.
Literally everything EXCEPT how a indirect ToF image sensor works..... Direct single point ToF and static point cloud depth sensing make sense to me, but this real time ToF across an entire image frame without capturing frames in the picosecond range, Im completely lost. I though LUCID could help....but I guess I was wrong.... [walks away, sad, in the rain]

There is a delay between the light sending and returning and the camera calculating the point clouds. The delay is around 10 - 12ms.
