Sony offers both direct (dTOF) and indirect ToF (iTOF) type sensors for depth sensing and 3D image captures. With the help of a laser or LED light source, these sensors can detect the reflected light and measure the time the light took to reach the target object and be captured by the ToF sensor resulting in accurate depth measurement.
Talk to RESTAR FRAMOS Technologies to see how to leverage these sensors and get in-depth information in your application.
Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors capture not only 2D spatial data (X, Y) but also depth (Z) by measuring the time delay of reflected light.
This enables true 3D imaging, allowing systems to analyze object shape, volume, and distance—critical for applications such as robotics, inspection, and spatial measurement.
ToF technology determines distance leveraging the fact that the speed of light is constant and through controlled illumination. Two primary approaches are used:
Each approach offers trade-offs between range, accuracy, and system complexity, allowing selection based on application requirements.
ToF sensors provide real-time depth data without the need for complex multi-camera 3D systems, significantly streamlining hardware and software architecture.
By utilizing a calibrated illumination source, these sensors directly measure distance to output precise depth information for every pixel.
The ability to deliver rapid, precise measurements makes ToF technology ideal for robotics motion planning and AGV collision avoidance where fast, reliable processing is critical.
These sensors enable stable 3D sensing and positioning, supporting efficient navigation and object recognition in connected industrial and IoT environments.
