Popularity of ToF sensors in face recognition, 3D modeling, portrait background blur, and AR (augmented reality) games has drawn more and more attention to ToF sensor technology. For example, the application of drones mainly requires two aspects, one is obstacle avoidance function, and the other is used for gesture control. The former requires a ToF module with a field of view (FOV) of 30°~50°, while the latter requires a pixel of 100 x 100 or more, and the ranging range is generally 5 meters. DOMI ToF sensor modules are perfect for drones.
Now some robot vacuums are basically equipped with ToF sensor modules. The main requirements of robot vacuums are that they can identify pets, wires and furniture, effectively remove fine particles, actively dock and charge, programmable, can interact with people, and can be used in dark environments. work etc. In response to the above requirements, the ToF sensor is the best choice: "For the application of the robot vacuum, the ToF sensor has a unique 120° × 5° field of view angle, a low starting point of the viewing angle, alignment, slippers, etc. Accurate identification; ToF sensor is placed on the side of the robot vacuum, without bulge, and does not increase the height of the whole machine; the pixel is 320 x 240, and the legs and thin lines of desks, chairs and thin lines can be fully seen, and the depth information is sufficient for room map construction and path planning (Generally, 80 x 60 pixels can meet the needs.) In addition, the ToF sensor system uses an active light source and does not depend on ambient light. DOMI ToF sensor module is very suitable for robot vacuum.
Other applications: Smart door locks, face payment, home entertainment and other applications require a field of view angle of about 30° and a pixel of 100 x 100 or more to effectively identify facial information. A ToF sensor with a resolution of QVGA suffices. It is mainly used in advertising machines in elevators, service robots, obstacle avoidance and fall prevention, etc. If you have the needs of the above applications, please consult DOMI.
