The Lucid Vision Labs Helios2+ Time of Flight (ToF) 3D camera features High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode, and High-Speed Time-of-Flight mode, and a Sony DepthSense\u2122 IMX556PLR 1\/2″ global shutter CMOS back-illuminated ToF sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n

Do I need a Time of Flight (ToF) 3D camera? It depends. If you can achieve the desired outcome in 2D, by all means stay in 2D since the geometry is simpler as are the camera, lensing, lighting, and software requirements. But as discussed in “Types of 3D imaging systems – and benefits of Time of Flight (TOF)”<\/a>, some applications can only be solved, or innovative offerings created, by working in a three dimensional space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robots doing pick-and-place, aerial drones, and patient monitoring are three examples, just to name diverse applications, that may require 3D ToF imaging. Some 3D systems use structured light or passive stereo approaches to build a 3D representation of the object space – but those approaches are often constrained to short working distances. ToF can be ideal for applications operating at working distances of 0.5m \u2013 5m and beyond, with depth resolution requirements to 1 \u2013 5mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucid Vision Labs has been a recognized leader in 3D ToF systems some time, and we are proud to represent their Helios2 and new Helios2+ cameras<\/a>, the latter with high speed modes achieve frame rates of 100fps+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
