Bring area-based distance data to compact robot and UAV designs with DOMI’s DMAS2M001. Its hybrid-stacked SPAD receiver and 940 nm VCSEL form a 40 × 30 dToF array that outputs depth, point-cloud and confidence data at 10 fps. Across a 60° × 45° field of view, these samples give engineering teams a spatial input for evaluating obstacle zones, ground distance and other defined sensing regions.
At 7 g, with a cased envelope of 35.5 × 25 × 16 mm, DMAS2M001 gives space- and payload-conscious projects a compact area-depth option. Its USB-C and FPC interfaces, UDP and UVC protocol options, and Windows, ARM and Linux SDK platforms provide integration paths for embedded and development systems.
Where area-based dToF supports mobile sensing
Robot perception and obstacle-zone evaluation
Use the 40 × 30 depth array as an input to robot perception software that works with selected regions of a scene. The confidence output can help the application distinguish depth samples by measurement confidence, while the 60° × 45° field of view gives the sensing design a defined area to work with.
For warehouse robots, service robots and other mobile platforms, start with the area where the system needs distance information. Relate mounting position, target size, distance and viewing angle to the samples available in that region. This gives the engineering team a clear basis for developing an obstacle-zone or floor-level sensing pipeline around the module’s output.
At 10 fps, the nominal interval between frames is 100 ms. As a simple timing example, a platform moving at 1 m/s travels 0.10 m between frames. Use this calculation as an initial sampling reference, then measure the complete application timing across acquisition, data transfer, processing and control.
For tasks that combine color with depth or need denser object contours, compare DOMI’s USB RGB-D cameras. For embedded designs that need a camera-module format, explore the ToF camera module range.
UAV distance and ground-region sensing
For a downward-facing UAV design, the array provides distance samples across the camera view. An application can use a selected ground region as an input to altitude estimation or terrain-following, with mounting geometry and aircraft attitude included in the calculation.
For forward-facing sensing, define the detection region around the aircraft’s motion and the response required from the complete system. The module’s range, frame cadence and field of view provide parameters for planning that evaluation. Test representative surfaces, distances, lighting and flight attitudes, and record valid-depth coverage alongside reference measurements.
See DOMI’s ToF camera selection guide for UAVs for a task-based selection process.

Plan the host and data pipeline
DMAS2M001 offers USB-C and FPC physical-interface options, UDP and UVC protocol choices, and SDK platforms for Windows, ARM and Linux. Match the interface and software route to the host, data format and application framework in your design.
An integration plan can account for depth and confidence units, timestamps, calibration, coordinate conventions, power, mounting and the required output stream. DOMI can help map those project requirements to an evaluation configuration.
Make the evaluation useful to your design
Record the module and firmware revision, camera settings, distance, target material, lighting, mounting orientation, host configuration and reference measurement for each test. Track depth error and valid-data coverage as separate results, and measure end-to-end timing through the application pipeline.
For the intended task, include the system response to changing confidence, targets outside the selected range and gaps in incoming data. This gives the design team a practical record to use when tuning its sensing and control pipeline.
