Time of Flight (ToF) Sensors

About

Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors are advanced technologies used to measure distances between the sensor and objects by calculating the time it takes for a signal, typically light, to travel from the sensor to the object and back. This principle allows ToF sensors to provide accurate depth information, making them useful in various applications such as robot navigation, vehicle monitoring, and object detection. They are particularly advantageous in environments where other imaging techniques may struggle, such as low-light conditions, due to their ability to emit their own light. ToF sensors are versatile and can be integrated into devices like smartphones and drones, enhancing features like photography and obstacle avoidance. They offer precise and fast measurements, unaffected by environmental factors like humidity or temperature. While they may face challenges with reflective surfaces or intense external light, their advantages in range and accuracy make them a valuable tool in numerous fields, including automotive, logistics, and consumer electronics.
