*Sony's Time-of-Flight (ToF) 3D Image Sensors for Industrial Applications* * *0:18** Introduction of ToF Sensors:* Sony introduces its back-illuminated ToF 3D image sensors designed for industrial equipment. * *0:28** ToF Technology Explained:* ToF (Time-of-Flight) measures distance to objects by calculating the time it takes for emitted light to reflect back to the sensor, enabling 3D sensing. * *1:02** Applications of ToF:* ToF is beneficial for inspections requiring depth information, such as shape inspection and detecting overlapped objects. It's also applicable for automatic control and collision avoidance in industrial robotics. * *1:29** Sony's Unique Sensor Technology:* Sony combines its expertise in accurate reflection light detection with back-illuminated CMOS image sensor technology to create high-performance ToF sensors. * *2:27** ToF in Logistics:* A ToF camera example showcases its use in the logistics industry for measuring package sizes without mechanical movement. * *2:42** High-Speed Capture:* Sony's ToF sensor operates at up to 60 frames per second, enabling capturing fast-moving objects. * *3:15** Advantages over Stereo Cameras:* ToF cameras have lower system requirements compared to stereo cameras, enabling efficient real-time 3D processing. * *3:49** Forklift Automation:* ToF cameras can guide forklifts to accurately insert forks into pallets, even in unmanned operations. * *4:24** Robustness and Outdoor Use:* Sony's ToF sensor demonstrates high environmental robustness, unaffected by sunlight, enabling outdoor applications like obstacle avoidance for vehicles. * *4:47** Operation in Dark Environments:* ToF cameras, due to emitting their own laser light, function effectively in low-light or dark environments. * *4:55** Cargo Volume Monitoring:* ToF can monitor cargo volume in real-time, facilitating efficient transportation planning. * *5:11** Expanding Applications:* Sony's ToF sensors find applications in various industries beyond logistics, including factory automation, agriculture, and construction, contributing to the advancement of automation and efficiency across multiple sectors. I used gemini-1.5-pro-exp-0827 on rocketrecap dot com to summarize the transcript. Cost (if I didn't use the free tier): $0.0180 Input tokens: 12530 Output tokens: 461
thanks for the info COMMERICAL even if the other comments were ignored with no response at the time of flight..:/ does ladyada sell this product with support?
The sensors Sony has in Huawei devices are absolutely brilliant
Brilliant! We will launch our latest model based on Sony ToF sensor quite soon!

How much one cost and what is the image resolution.
I wonder if their sensors are used in the Killer Drones used by the US and Israel?!
TOF Sensors are not great for huge distances. Panasonic released one in 2018 that can do 250 meters, to give you an idea.

Nice sensor
What am I supposed to do now? D:
Why isn't it advertised for autonomous cars?! 🤔
Wow
XPERIA-1ii's 3D iTof sensor............
Sony Xperia mobile come to TURKEY millet marka görsün bekliyoruz seni sony türkiye pazarına geri dön
Imagine losing your job to a freakin' camera
