ToF sensors can be used in a range of consumer, automotive and industrial applications, including combining artificial intelligence with 3D imaging to enable a variety of smart sensing and recognition capabilities to change the limitations of traditional 2D vision.
At present, ToF sensors are considered to be one of the key technologies to realize IoT, and play a huge role in various fields such as smart home, smart security, smart retail, smart medical care, and smart agriculture. In recent years, various IoT applications have begun to land, and 3D sensing technology based on ToF sensors has also opened a new chapter in the field of IoT applications. For example, AR/VR glasses are used for depth and orientation information recognition; 3D face recognition is also expected to usher in the promotion of ToF solutions;robot vacuum have shifted from traditional single-line mechanical scanning lidar to ToF lidar ranging; smart home, In the fields of smart security and smart retail, ToF sensors are used to identify and track the human body, making all aspects of human life more intelligent; in the field of autonomous driving/in-vehicle perception and monitoring/AGV, ToF sensors are automotive lidar, in-car body recognition , an important component of gesture recognition in the car; even in agriculture and animal husbandry, ToF sensors can also be used to measure and monitor the growth status of livestock; and in the future, ToF sensors will go beyond the scope of 3D perception and conduct human physiological indicators, object speed and other information. Measure, move towards 4D perception.
