Laser distance or displacement sensors use timeof-flight sensing to handle the positioning monitoring process. Time of flight (TOF) measures the time needed for a burst of laser light to travel from ...

Stephen is an author at Android Police who covers how-to guides, features, and in-depth explainers on various topics. He joined the team in late 2021, bringing his strong technical background in ...

Safety applications: Detection of proximity to machines and systems ...

Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

Osram has created an optical time-of-flight sensor with a 48 x 32 pixel receiving array that builds up a 1,536 point depth map as wide as 80° and at ranges from 10mm to 11m. “It is designed to detect ...

Despite 3D imaging technology being around for several decades, the first commercial 3D imaging products have only become available within the last 10-15 years following the use of the latest High ...

I recently met Dr. Dave Horsley, CTO and co-founder of Chirp Microsystems. This is a company that was created in 2013 after incubating with Skydeck at Berkeley and the government-based SBIR program.

CMOS image sensors have become a cornerstone of modern imaging, leveraging the advantages of low power consumption, high speed, and scalability inherent in complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor ...

Time-of-flight (ToF) cameras are comprised of a sensor that uses a tiny laser to fire out infrared light. This light bounces off anything or anyone in front of the camera and back into the sensor. The ...

Pepperl+Fuchs introduces the R2000 UHD Laser Scanner. This IP65-rated 2D photoelectric sensor leverages Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT) and a rotating head to deliver quick, precise and high resolution ...

We’re still a few months away from Apple announcing its 2019 iPhones, but rumors have already started for next year’s models, with the ever-reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claiming in his latest ...
