You can do all kinds of wonderful things with cameras and image recognition. However, sometimes spatial data is useful, too. As [madmcu] demonstrates, you can use depth data from a time-of-flight ...

An indirect time-of-flight sensor, the AF0130 from onsemi offers long-distance measurements and 3D imaging of fast-moving objects. It features a depth processing ASIC beneath its pixel area, which ...

If you need to measure a distance, it is tempting to reach for the ubiquitous ultrasonic module like an HC-SR04. These work well, and they are reasonably easy to use. However, they aren’t without ...

This LiDAR depth sensor adopts the “Direct Time of Flight (dToF) method*1,” which delivers highly accurate measurement, distance resolution*2, and measuring range. By employing the proprietary dToF ...

Automated inventory storage-andretrieval systems rely on error-free position sensing of overhead cranes and vertical lifts. Laser distance or displacement sensors use timeof-flight sensing to handle ...

SICK introduces the first 3D time-of-flight (ToF) camera with Performance Level c (PL c) on the market – the safeVisionary2. It was developed to support customers in becoming fully autonomous in ...

Regardless of your UAV application, payload matters, and counting grams is something all engineers and mission managers do. It’s worth remembering how the word ‘payload’ came into being. The term ...

The various ways your PC-screen “privacy” can be compromised. How a sensitive time-of-flight (ToF) transducer can be a critical privacy (and power-saving) building block. The many circumstances for ...

Sony Electronics Inc. has claimed the smallest precision LiDAR depth sensor with the commercialization of its AS-DT1 sensor. By leveraging miniaturization and optical lens technologies from Sony’s ...

Drone payload capabilities define real-world value and efficiency, transforming UAV performance through sensors, AI, and data intelligence.
