Why is tof camera so widely used on smartphones, and what functions can be implemented on smartphones? Compared with other depth cameras, such as structured light camera/projector systems, ToF technology is relatively cheap and has high accuracy. Tof sensors can reach up to 160fps, which means they are very suitable for real-time applications, such as background blur in real-time video. Even better, tof camera has faster computing power. Once the distance data is collected, the correct algorithm can be used to easily implement functions such as object detection. ToF camera is one of many technologies belonging to range imaging.
What applications can tof cameras achieve?
1. Object scanning, indoor navigation, gesture recognition
2. Improve 3D imaging and improve AR experience
3. Blur the background in'portrait mode'
ToF camera can be used to measure distance and volume, as well as object scanning, indoor navigation, obstacle avoidance, gesture recognition, object tracking and response altimeter. Data from sensors can also help 3D imaging and improve the augmented reality (AR) experience. In smartphones, ToF camera used for 3D photography, AR, especially portrait mode.
