Time-of-Flight propagation

The application of the "Time-of-Flight" process for optimal distance measurement based on the speed of light, thereby exploiting the propagation properties of light. The distance is established by light reflection and the time-of-flight propagation. A distance can be measured with the highest possible accuracy since the speed of light is known. A light pulse (e.g. laser) is emitted. This pulse is reflected by an object and this refleted light is detected by receivers (e.g. TriDiCam sensor), thereby establishing the exact distance on the given object. 

The particular features of this technology are

  • Distance resolution up to 1 cm

  • At the same time every pixel delivers image and distance information
  • The pulse Time-of-Flight technology principle avoids ambiguities
  • Backgroundlight is inherently suppressed
  • Standard CMOS technology is used
  • Sensor frame rate up to 20.000 images/sec possible

  • Identification from moving an not moving persons and objects
