The AF0130 belongs to the Hyperlux ID family. It’s an Indirect Time of Flight (iToF) sensor, back side illuminated (BSI) CMOS global shutter depth and imaging solution. It calculates depth, confidence and intensity maps at high speeds from its laser modulated exposures.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why is IDS Imaging introducing a ToF product<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’ve covered IDS evolving range of stereo vision 3D cameras previously, as recently as a few months ago, in Ensenso 3D for logistics applications<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But while powerful, stereo vision requires at least two cameras, and the corresponding electronics and software to synchronize the images and build the 3D model. So it can be overkill if you don’t need that level of performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Nion ToF product, IDS brings a more affordable 3D imaging solution to the market, which is more than good enough for many 3D applications .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
